Speedometer 2.0 - browser benchmark

A few colleagues have convinced me that this test is as close as it gets to normal browser use.
My daughter told me that on her home PC with Linux OS, Firefox is noticeably slow.
I presume not only for the daily activities that take place on the PC, but especially for those few times that she has to use the browser to perform work practices.

So I have installed in her pc the browser Chrome (it is the one she prefers since always ) I have tried to configure Chrome in a way more similar "as possible" to Firefox.

Firefox (OS Xubuntu 21.10):



Chrome (OS Xubuntu 21.10):



A remarkable difference, my daughter is right to say that FF is slow.
It would be interesting to see if other browsers are even faster obviously with this test.

 

Results do match my observations--that is, Firefox and Vivaldi are similar in performance on here.This is Windows 10.

Spoiler: Firefox speedometer

Spoiler: Vivaldi speedometer

Edit--re-ran the test without anything in the background this time:

Firefos--116
Vivaldi-- 112

 

Firefox v95.0.2 on Linux MX-21



LOL! what is this??

Edge-beta on Linux MX-21

 

This is on Windows 11.

Firefox


Edge

 

So lower is slower?

 

Yes.

 

Win 10.

 

@Triple Helix

Even on my daughter's pc Chrome scores higher on the test than Edge.

 

Then I guess Firefox in my setup is running at the speed of light

 

I don't have Firefox, my Chrome readings are just about the same as Edge: 86.55 for Chrome and 87.52 for Edge (Win10, WiFi connection)

 

Very strange behavior.
Evidently some of your settings are disturbing the test.

 

I thought about that; maybe something in about:config. Under detailed results there are some numerical values:



In Windows I got a more expected result, can't remember what, but similar to what others were getting, and it's about:config settings are very similar to FF on Linux.

 

Safari on my iPad, IOS15.2

 

I ran the test on my MacBook Pro (Apple M1/ARM CPU) (MBP18,1) w/macOS 12.1 Monterey.

I really didn't mentally perceive that much speed difference - even downloading a 200MB test file.

Average Speedometer 2.0 test results:

Firefox 96 - 125
Safari 15.2 - 223
Chrome 97 - 282

HTH

 

Something must have changed in Edge 103 or is it some setting of mine because I get "Infinity" too.

 

Now,after changing some settings in about:config Firefox outperforms Edge in the test.
I am preparing very much in advance for MV3.

 

Funny test- No noticeable slow downs here using latest 105 Chrome on 8.1 and with constantly 10 open tabs/webpages simultaneously always

 

TBH I forgot all about this test.

 

So had I, until you posted.
Nevertheless, my result was 251 on Linux Mint 21 running Vivaldi 5.4.2753.47.

 

Well, I retested Foxie in Sandboxie w/3 ext. (uBO, Trace, Skip Redirect) just sayin'

Spoiler

With all this noise about Manifest v. 3 and chromium browsers, it's good to go gecko (for me). Ditched Vivaldi long ago.

 

OK.



Brave running on Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish. Levono G500 laptop. Still slow, right? lol

 

First one Egde, second is Brave.

 

A curiosity.
Is Enhanced Security Protection in Edge enabled in strict mode?

If not, can you repeat the test even with anti-trackers protection in strict mode?
TH.
