Google Chrome-Acid3 Test
Sep 2nd
The Acid3 test (here) tests a browsers Javascript rendering ability in terms of being standards-compliant, for a reference Webkit scores 100, Opera scores 83, Firefox 3 scores 71, IE 7 scores 12, but you just get a mess (seen here), and Google Chrome (which uses the Webkit rendering engine (don’t confuse this with the browser “WebKit“, read more about webkit here) and a new javascript engine called V8-which boasts speed to kill, produces a 73 on the Acid3 test. Not bad considdering it’s the fastest to complete the test, but clearly Opera and WebKit (the browser).
@UPDATE- 9:35P
after doing some Google searching I’ve discovred that Google Chrome has scored from 61/100 to 78, this test is supposed to be repeatable, however it seems there’s some user-biased module to Chrome. My finding was that Chrome scored 73. That’s all I can say for sure.
Firefox 3 Review
Jul 31st
Firefox 2 in my opinion has been a flop from the memory leaks, the interface, and it’s dated when compared to Safari or Opera.
- All memory leak issues are fixed.
- It runs faster (start and page-load)
- It’s more reliable (No more javascript or flash issues)
- It looks so much better than the old Firefox
- Safari is almost 10x faster (in my CSStest file I got from the internet) More >
