    Firefox engine speeds past Chrome


    Mozilla has claimed the fastest SunSpider scores on the planet, after internal tests showed that its latest Firefox JavaScript engine — which includes the new JagerMonkey extension — outperforms both Google Chrome's V8 engine and Apple Safari's Nitro.

    Director of community development Asa Dotzler made the claim on Monday morning with a blog post.
    The planet Dotzler refers to does not seem to include Opera or Internet Explorer — Mozilla is running shell-only tests against only Chrome V8 and Safari Nitro — and the new Firefox engine still trails Chrome on Google's V8 benchmarks. But Mozilla has reached a milestone nonetheless. The open sourcers have long said that their new JavaScript engine would be as fast or faster than the competition.
