  • Today I’m here with the next in my series of browser

  • tests, this time going over Chrome 15, Firefox 7,

  • Internet Explorer 9, Opera 11.5 and Safari 5.1.

  • Before we begin let me explain a little bit about

  • my testing procedure. All browsers are fully updated

  • to their latest non-beta release and all were tested

  • multiple times with no additional options enabled

  • such as hardware acceleration. Each test was run

  • multiple times on the same Windows 7 computer.

  • The first test is Peacekeeper. This is a great overall

  • benchmark of browser performance and one of my personal

  • favorites for testing browsers. As usual Opera does

  • very well here with Chrome right behind it and the rest

  • of the pack falling behind.

  • Next up we have the Dromaeo Javascript suite. This is

  • a good indicator of how well a browser handles sites

  • such as Gmail. Chrome dominates this test with Firefox

  • and the others quite far behind. Moving on is the

  • Particle Acceleration demo which helps determine how

  • well a browser handles graphically intense HTML5 work.

  • Firefox and Internet Explorer flatten everything else

  • on paper however I will note that I got a smooth 60

  • frames per second on all of the browsers except Safari.

  • Next is the HTML5 Test. As the name suggests, this

  • measures how well each browser adheres to the latest web

  • standards. Here Chrome does the best however all of the

  • browsers with the exception of Internet Explorer do a

  • very good job. Lastly we have the memory test. Each

  • browser was loaded up with the same five tabs containing

  • popular sites such as Hulu and I measured the memory

  • usage. Very surprisingly Safari went from being the worst

  • by far last time to easily winning this one. Opera and

  • Firefox do quite well with Internet Explorer and Chrome

  • being much more memory hungry. As it’s been for the past

  • year or so all five of these browsers are competent to

  • the point where the numbers don’t matter as much as the

  • individual features you might need however there are

  • some clear winners. This time it’s a tie between the

  • excellent new Firefox 7 and the standby Chrome 15. If you

  • enjoyed this video be sure to leave a like rating and if
