Tom’s Hardware perform a test called “Web Browser Grand Prix” every time there are new releases of web browsers. In this test, the top five web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer and Safari) are tested in almost any aspect that we can think of. The test includes startup times (one tab and eight tabs) and page loading times of most popular pages (Sample: Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Amazon, Ebay, Yahoo, craigslist and The Huffington Post). They are also tested for their HTML5 hardware acceleration, WebGL performance, Java, Javascript, memory management and efficiency and more.
On this Web Browser Grand Prix, the winner is Firefox. Mozilla tries hard to provide its users the best web experience. In the second place, with no big difference, is Google’s Chrome. Firefox is also the web browser of my choice and I don’t think this will change in the near future.
