Browser benchmarks: IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari
Published: 23 May 2008
Platform comparison: Mac OS v Vista
It's interesting to compare the browsers on different platforms. In the SunSpider JavaScript test, Opera performs best under Windows Vista while Firefox 2.0.0.13 shines under Mac OS. The beta versions and Safari show no significant performance differences across platforms.
In the iBench 5.0 HTML tests, the Windows versions of Firefox are faster than their Mac OS counterparts. With Safari and Opera 9.50 Beta, precisely the opposite is true, while Opera 9.27 performs much the same on Vista and Mac OS. In the XML/CSS tests, all of the browsers except Opera 9.27 are slightly faster under Windows Vista.
