Post your Internet Browser Benchmark

Apple say Safari is "The world’s fastest browser, Safari has speed to burn"
I don't know what weed they've been smoking but its not that fast on my PC.

About Maxthon it's Chinese & based on IE it has a menu button like Opera paste & go & mouse gestures very few options to configure it.

"GPU rendering will used in conjunction with Webkit, one of two code sets that make up Maxthon 3.0’s hybrid rendering engine. The engine translates a Web’s page’s HTML code into text and graphics displayed on the PC’s screen. The other code set is Trident, used to optimize older Web pages written for Internet Explorer’s vintage display standards. Maxthon’s rendering engine switches automatically between the two code interpreters depending on the type of Web page the browser is opening."

Safari unknown & Internet Explorer 7 are both Maxthon 3.0.11.8

I've also tested Firefox 3.6.4 release candidate.

My result with the latest chrome:

With the latest (I think) nightly of Chromium 6.0.432.0 (49413)

That is freakin' awesome! Thanks for the heads up DNG.

Chrome is fast again on my PC but opening 23 tabs in both Opera was a lot quicker.
I like the way you can just drag & drop a bookmark folder into Chrome from another browser , pretty cool i hope Opera adds that feature.

Here is a post from a Chromium developer:

@divilex, gpu acceleration for chromium is already in the works! As a matter of fact, our OpenGL-based gpu compositor is pretty complete although currently sitting behind a compile-time flag. I'm working on making it available as a command-line option within the next day or so. Please stay tuned.

@phistuck is right that a lot of even fairly new windows PCs out there don't have up-to-date OpenGL drivers. That's why we started the ANGLE project and are now working on integrating it with Chromium.

Looks like we will need up to date OpenGL drivers on Windows though. If there are no OpenGL drivers for your graphics card under Windows then you have to use this: angleproject - Project Hosting on Google Code which I believe translates DirectX calls to OpenGL.


I'm glad Google will use a OpenGL-based compositor instead of DirectX, so we can get GPU-accelerated rendering on any Linux platform including Chrome on Android for Google TV, and Mac OS X.

Dang, still haven't cracked 10K. Chromium 6.0.432.0 (49506) This is with both GPU rendering and video layering enabled.

well for me.... i use 2 browsers...
firefox for all browsing and chrome for social sites....n these 2 rock.....
never liked IE, opera (dun know :P), safari (very heavy), maxthon (too messy), flock (once used,never liked again) etc...
