Firefox 3.6, Chrome 4.0, and Opera 10.5 have the latest versions. This is also a good time to test their performance. Lifehacker has recently released a new round of tests on Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome browsers, the startup time, JavaScript speed, DOM/CSS query, and memory usage of various browsers were tested.

The test platform selects the Lenovo Thinkpad T61p, 2.0 GHz Intel Centrino 2 processor, 2 gb ram, and runs Windows 7. The test benchmark suite selects Rob Keir and Mozilla Dromaeo. Let's take a look at the specific test content and results:

1. Start Time and hot loading time

Winner: Opera

The Pre-Alpha versions of Opera 10.01 and 10.5 are very close to the cold start and hot start speeds. In terms of the cold start of the browser for the first time and the hot start of the webpage after the browser is restarted, both require less time than other browsers. Followed by Opera, Google's Chrome and Firefox.

2. Tag page loading time

Winner: Chrome

This result is somewhat surprising. After all, Opera has some advantage in the cold/hot start of the browser. However, after the opening time of the nine tags is recorded multiple times, the results still show that Chrome 4.0 stable version has excellent performance, thanks to Chrome's latest technology "open all links in bookmarks ", this technology is also very helpful for loading a single tag.

3. JavaScript Performance Testing

Winner: Opera 10.5 Pre-Alpha

Opera 10.5 outshines in Mozilla's Dromaeo benchmark test results. Chrome 4.0 stable version and developer version and Safari 4.0.4 have also achieved good results.

4. DOM/CSS Performance

Winner: Chrome

Google's Chrome browser has always been at the forefront in this regard, and Safari is also moving forward and is not far behind.

5. No extension for memory usage)

Winner: Firefox 3.6


Blue indicates memory usage at startup, and red indicates memory usage after 9 tags are opened.

Although Firefox 3.6 focuses on one-click theme replacement, plug-in management, and does not mention too much memory usage, it can be seen from the test that, firefox 3.6 significantly improves memory usage compared with Firefox 3.5. Too much memory usage has always been a pain point in Chrome's mind. Even the latest version of Chrome 4.0 has become one of the four most memory-consuming browsers.
