When we last tested the five major browsers back in November 2012, Chrome came first in 8 out of 13 our tests, making it a clear winner!Ī year later, and Chrome is still going strong, coming top in 8 out of 15 tests, and second in a further two tests. Browsers were then ranked according to the lowest number of points to give the 1st-5th places above (1st being the best) Analysis For example, in our HTML 5 compliance test, Chrome came first and so was assigned 1 point, Safari came 5th and so was assigned 5 points. The above overall positions were derived based upon the sum of the positions that each browser finished in, in each of our tests.

This is measured from the point at which the browser is executed until the point at which its user interface (UI) is ready to accept input. The “Cold Start” test measures the time taken to load up the browser upon its first run after a computer reboot. We broadly tested four key areas of browser performance: Speed, Memory Usage, Compliance with standards, and Javascript Performance. Now, twelve months on, and less than a week since Internet Explorer 11 became available for Windows 7, Firefox celebrated its ninth birthday, and just a day after Google Chrome 31 is released, we decided it was high time to once again put the latest web browsers offerings “head-to-head” and independently, rigorously test and benchmark them to find out which one of the five major browsers is currently “the best”…. This time last year we put Chrome 23, Firefox 16, Internet Explorer 9 & 10, Opera 12 and Safari 5 head-to-head In developing a powerful and feature-rich browser based room booking and resource scheduling system that’s supported in all five major browsers, we often get asked “So, which is the best web browser?”. We put the latest web browsers head-to-head to try to find out which one is best!
