Browser Wars - The Showdown!

V8 Benchmark Suite

V8 Benchmark Suite

Google's V8 test is much more stressful on the browsers. While it's safe to say that Google's Chrome will perform well in this test, we were looking forward to see how the rest managed this. Take note that larger scores are better here. The result? None of the other browsers did as well as Chrome, though Safari came through with very good scores. Minefield and Opera didn't fare too well here followed by IE8 taking up the rear position again. While it may be argued that the V8 test is more suited for a browser with a V8 JavaScript Engine, do note that Safari 4 scored better on two tests compared to Chrome and actually managed pretty well on the rest of the individual tests too (in relative comparison to the other browsers).
