Browser Big Three benchmark test battle: Chrome vs Firefox vs Edge

VentureBeat recently conducted a benchmark PK for Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge to understand the gap between the three browsers. The last time they released the browser benchmark results was in October 2016, a year and a half away.

This browser PK battle contains data from nine benchmarking tools for a more comprehensive comparison. The computer used for the test was a Surface notebook (Intel i5-7200U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), and a new 100GB partition was split to install the Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) system and updated to the latest patch. The browsers participating in PK are Chrome 67, Firefox 61, and Edge 42.

The results are as follows:

1, SunSpider  – Edge wins

SunSpider is an “old” JavaScript benchmarking engine. The lower the value, the better. This time I used version 1.0.2.

2, Octane – Chrome Wins

Octane is a benchmark for Google V8 and retired in 2017. For this benchmark, the value is better. This time I used the 2.0 version.

3, Kraken  – Firefox wins

Kraken is a JavaScript benchmark developed by Mozilla. The lower the value, the better. This time I used the 1.1 version.

4, JetStream  – Edge wins

JetStream is a JavaScript benchmark developed by Apple. The higher the value, the better. This time I used the 1.1 version.

5, MotionMark  – Edge wins

MotionMark is a graphical benchmark developed by the WebKit team. The higher the value, the better. This time I used version 1.0.

6, Speedometer  – Chrome Wins

A speedometer is a performance benchmark that uses the DOM API to repeat the same operation. The higher the value, the better. This time I used the 1.1 version.

7, BaseMark – Chrome Wins

Basemark includes a variety of tests that use the latest web standards and features, the higher the number, the better. This time I used version 3.0.

8, WebXPRT – Firefox wins

WebXPRT is an HTML5 and JavaScript benchmark that was developed by Principled Technologies. The higher the value, the better. This time I used v3.

9, HTML5Test – Chrome Wins

HTML5Test As its name suggests, the higher the value, the better, with a perfect score of 555.

From the ground up to test results, Chrome is the most successful browser, followed by Edge and Firefox.

With the maturity of the technology, the browsers on the market are not too bad, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. As browser standards continue to change, it is expected that they will deliver even more excellent performance.
