Browser Javascript benchmarks.
Using the SunSpider 0.9 benchmark, I benchmarked many popular web browsers available today.
Note: While the benchmark is designed to give an imitation of real-world use, it isn’t real-world use. Unless the JavaScript performance is absolutely horrible, it shouldn’t make or break the browser for you. Keep in mind that SunSpider is a Safari biased benchmark (the test is from the WebKit site; WebKit is the backend of Safari).
Note: I’ll update this page with nice tables and graphs soon. Here are the links for now. Results are ordered fastest to slowest.
