Benchmarking your web browsers

I use the web browsers a lot. I need to know how fast my browser is.

After putting my profile and cache in RAM using ramdisk, I try to benchmark it.

The technique to do the above is found at:



I have added a method to increase ram to 1Gbyte by setting the amount of RAM to 1,000,000.

To compare my result with others:

Using SunSpider 1.0.2, I managed to get 290.6 mS.

The result from the browser comparison above was 332.5 mS.

Edge was fastest at 119.9 mS.

With my PC, a Thinkpad W530 with 16MB of RAM, it is  141.6ms +/- 3.4%.

SunSpider is a test for Javascript. It is not supposed to test cache RAM but somehow the extra cache RAM has improved its SunSpider benchmark result.

For graphics, better use HTML 5 benchmark:
GUIMark 2, bitmap, http://www.craftymind.com/factory/guimark2/HTML5GamingTest.html

Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 64-bit,
Test Average: 46.52 fps

Edge,
 Test Average: 49.72 fps


Chrome:


GUIMark - Bitmap Game Test
 
 
Current: 58.82 fps
 
Test Average: 58.82 fps



Firefox:
GUIMark - Vector Chart Test
Current: 47.61 fps
Test Average: 46.3 fps
Edge:
GUIMark - Vector Chart Test


Current: 24.85 fps

Test Average: 49.75 fps

Your browser scores 497 out of 555 points

You are using Firefox 61.0 on Windows 10

Your browser scores 492 out of 555 points

You are using Edge 17 on Windows 10
 So, if you like to watch Youtube, use Firefox, if Online shopping, Edge.
Chrome is said to be faster with HTML 5:

YOUR BROWSER SCORES 528 OUT OF 555 POINTS

You are using Chrome Dev 67.0.3396.99 on Windows 10
But Chrome cannot download Youtube videos. If I like a video, I would rather download first, then watch.
Too many restrictions with Chrome and Edge, so I  do not use them.
