Google: IE8 is the successor to the JavaScript performance Competition

Although the Internet Explorer has the largest user base, there are countless criticisms. Google has been paying attention to the browser field and has made more comments since it had its own browser. Recently, Google has been hitting ie8. According to Google, In the JavaScript consistency competition of the five major browsers, IE is always the one to hold back, and IE8 is the latter.

This is naturally not because of Google's reputation, software Engineer Christian Plesner Hansen has performed more than last June tests on IE8, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.50, Chrome 4, and Safari 4 using Google's JavaScript consistency testing tool Sputnik released in December 5000, this conclusion is summarized.

Google said that Sputnik can also be used to compare browser performance. For example, the following table shows the performance comparison of the five browsers. The more the browser passes the test, the closer it is to the center. The more deviation from the center, the more failures. Google obtained the following results after performing the Sputnik test on a Windows machine:

-Opera 10.50: 78 failures;

-Safari 4: Failed 159 times;

-Chrome 4: Failed 218 times;

-Firefox 3.6: 259 failures;

-IE8: Failed 463 times.
