FireFox is catching up with Chrome

Since the birth of chrome, the powerful v8 engine has provided a general experience for everyone. Later, the webkit team developed a new javascript engine that is said to exceed the v8 speed.

Now the tracemonkey of firefox 3.1bpre has exceeded chrome v8 according to major reports. Is that true? With curiosity, I did the following experiment.

The hardware environment is the same: on the same machine

Javascript test results:

 

The test result of firefox is as follows. The legendary tracemonkey has been enabled.

The result of chrome is as follows:

 

From the above results, we can see that chrome is still a little faster, but firefox's tracemonkey has already exceeded the powerful v8 in many operations, but it is only slightly inferior in String concatenation operations, the results of the two are very similar, almost a hierarchical javascript Engine.

In short, what the browser war brings to our users is faster and more powerful browsers. Competition brings about technological advances. We hope that various browser tycoons will bring us more surprises, we are looking forward to the official chrome and firefox4.
