Firefox and Chrome run JavaScript almost as fast

Article Title: Firefox and Chrome run JavaScript almost as fast. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The test results of JavaScript efficiency detection on SunSpider show that the execution speed of the latest Google Chrome browser is only a little slower than that of Mozilla Firefox.The focus of the test report also includes that Firefox's SunSpider test results are still at 2,110 points ahead, but Chrome's score is rapidly catching up, narrowing the gap by 2,140 points. The lower the score, the better the efficiency. Because the results of several tests are different, the data I reference is the average value of the results of several tests.

Browsers on the market are not only Firefox and Chrome, but they are quite interesting. The reasons are as follows: 1. Both are open source code software, both of which are intended to challenge the Internet Explorer browser with a new browsing experience; 2. Based on the above concepts, these two browsers may attract users who are brave enough to use them first. 3. Both of them have a new JavaScript Engine, Chrome's V8 and Mozilla's TraceMonkey, started in the pre-defined status of the new beta version.

JavaScript is used to create websites with complex functions, such as Gmail or Google Docs, but also for common operations. Therefore, it is a good thing to speed up JavaScript efficiency. Google once proposed a possibility that in the future, web applications may be able to directly use Native Client software developed by Google without JavaScript? The research project claims that software on the network can run almost as quickly as on a computer.

Chrome has been making progress in JavaScript efficiency testing, while Firefox is doing well and bad.

However, SunSpider is only one of the tests. in Google's own JavaScript efficiency test, Chrome wins. The first Firefox beta version was flawed, which prevented me from performing tests on Google's efficiency test, but the new beta version scored 182 points, this is lower than Firefox 3.1 beta 235, so there may be some deviations. In any case, this result is significantly different from the 2,635 score of Chrome 0.4.154.33.

Note that your test results may be different from mine. My above tests were conducted on a dual-core Lenovo T61 laptop with 3 GB of memory and Windows XP. JavaScript is only one aspect of the Efficiency of Web browsers, and the software is only a beta version, especially Chrome is only developer beta. Finally, I have to say sorry to some readers. Due to time constraints, I cannot test the latest WebKit builds and Opera.

According to Mark Larson, Google Chrome's Program Manager, Chrome 0.4.154.33 fixed previous software errors, including downtime in the 64-bit Windows Options dialog box, and some problems encountered when using Hotmail. But Larson said: "Hotmail still cannot properly identify Google Chrome .」
