One of the most disputed topics on the entire internet will always be about What is the best browser, and despite all the evidence you can find on different pages It is good that you review the most recent results and above all that you have your own criteria.
But to evaluate which is the best, we must go beyond just knowing which is the fastest browser. In this sense, tests of computer data consumption, JavaScript decompression capabilities, among others, come into account.
That is why in this article in a very partial way we will be able to observe, how 4 browsers perform in different aspects and in the end we will have a clear notion of which is the best.
Performance comparison between Opera, Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers on Windows 10
Next we are going to do a series of performance teststogether with a simple comparison between the 4 computers that we have chosen, and in these tests it will be possible to evaluate arbitrarily, the code decompression speed, and cryptography.
These are simple tests that include evaluation of the speed of data exchange “Json” and can also be useful to diagnose a problem with JavaScript.
Octane test
The first test is responsible for throwing us a result of overall performanceevaluated in score, all the processes carried out by each of the browsers when make a proxy call and load a web page.
The crypto decompression speed is evaluated, as we can clearly see:
- The test winner is Google Chrome with a result of 9858
- Followed by Mozilla Firefox with 9474.
- In third place is Opera with a score of 9134
- Finally Microsoft Edge with a weighting of 8134
Although the difference is not so noticeable graphically, if you can appreciate the great disadvantage that Microsoft Edge hasof which many presume that it is the best browser both in performance and speed.
We can also appreciate that Mozilla Firefoxwhich is nipping at the heels of Google Chrome, little by little it is increasing its potential and its number of usersOn the other hand, we have the Navigator operates which, despite being little known, is positioned very well on this list.
If you want to carry out this test by your own means, which you must access. But despite everything, it is still too early to judge so let’s continue with the next test.
Test Kraken benchmark
This is a benchmark that is in charge of making a deeper study of the operation and speed responses of JavaScript for each browser, so it is in charge of measuring the time in each process carried out in the different Scripts. In the end, gives us a weight that is equal to the sum of all the milliseconds that it took the browser to perform each process, plus the time taken for each process separately.
For this reason, on this occasion, the one who has obtained the highest weighting, It means that I spend more time doing the test and that browser with less weightingwas faster performing the test.
Therefore, this graph is measured from lowest to highest, the results are as follows:
- In the first place we have Mozilla Firefox with 2680 milliseconds of duration
- In second place by very little we have Google Chrome with 2744 milliseconds
- Followed by Opera with 3289 milliseconds
- Finally, last place is Microsoft Edge with 4558 milliseconds
As we can observe Firefox is capable of surpassing Chrome in this test, which indicates that it has potential. On the other hand, Opera and Microsoft Edge are in the last places and have to improve in certain aspects so as not to be left behind. If you want to carry out this test by your own means, which you must access.
Test Suns spider benchmark
This is another benchmark which carries out a study of JavaScripts responses a little more exhaustive than the previous oneto evaluate the speed of data exchange, the dynamics are similar in the graph, where the lower the result is the higher the weight, since it is the speed with which each process is completed and all are added at the end in milliseconds.
To everyone’s surprise, this time we have first place:
- Microsoft Edge which had a time of 373 milliseconds
- Followed by Mozilla Firefox with 609 milliseconds
- In third place we have Google Chrome with 660 milliseconds
- Last place, Opera with 782 milliseconds
From this proof we can extract the fact that again Google Chrome was below Mozilla Firefox, which partially suggests that it can also be surpassed. We can think of Opera that if it wants to gain more users and become as recognized as the other 3, it has to improve in various aspects. If you want to carry out this test by your own means, which you must access.
Jet Stream test
In this other page of tests that turns out to be homologous with Octane we will be able to measure in score, the vast majority of the processes carried out on each computer, It is a more complete test and therefore the longest of alltherefore the results are very distant from each other.
This particular test carries a lot of weight when it comes to making the final judgment:
- At the end of the test, Google Chrome ranks first with 423 points
- Then we have Mozilla Firefox with 402
- In third place is Opera with 370 points
- In the last position is Microsoft Edge with 365 points
If you want to take this test by your own means, you must enter.
Test Canvas Mark 2013
This particular test is responsible for measuring the ability to open and reproduce any type of visual content on each computer, for this they use different vectors, bitmaps and various objects and images in animationthis time we have our own criteria to know which is the best.
Test results: Because although the one that generated the highest score in this test was Microsoft Edge with 6764, in turn, it was the one that took the longest time to perform the test, while the others with the lowest scores were faster, so we must establish in our minds the relationship between quality and time and decide what we prefer as users.
The following weights are: Mozilla Firefox with 4670later Chrome with 3529 and finally we have Operates with 3497. If you want to do this test on your own, where you should go to try it.
test html5
It is a standards compliance test, to verify the syntax potential in a language as basic for web browsing as HTML5, it is a very simple test, the results below.
Test results:
- We have Opera with the best position with 509 points
- Followed by Microsoft Edge 489
- Then Mozilla Firefox with 478
- Finally Google Chrome with 478
Apparently in this type of thing the browsers are all impeccable and the results are very similar, I only highlight Opera with a slight advantage. If you want to carry out this test by your own means, which you must access to carry out the test yourself.
CSS test
This is another standards compliance test, with which we can measure the ability of browsers to support specific features, and in this test we will be able to observe how browsers struggle to pass 2412 different tests that represent 100%.
Therefore, according to the number of tests passed or rather of supported features, It will give us a result in percentage, and this will be the one that we will show you in the graph. Now if you want to search for a specific property, access the link and do the test yourself and below find all the characteristics evaluated and which were passed and which were not. If you want to carry out this test by your own means, which you must access.
The results are the following:
- In first place Mozilla Firefox with 66%
- Followed by Chrome and
- Operates with 64%
- Last with a low percentage is Edge with 40%
Test CPU and RAM consumption
To carry out this last test we have used the Windows task manager, in which you can see exactly the data consumption of each application used.
What we have done is open 4 tabs in each browser and we have played different videos in each of them simultaneouslyso that it would throw us the data having an average data consumption.
Regarding CPU for some reason the consumption gives us these numbers:
- Opera beats everyone out by a good amount
- Only Google Chrome comes close.
- On the other hand, the consumption of Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox is almost nil
Regarding RAM memory we can see that the consumption of Chrome is superior to all othersand this explains why when we open it, other processes on the computer can be slowed down, the lightest browser is undoubtedly Microsoft Edge.
But it should be noted that Google Chrome although it has a high consumption in RAM It was one of the fastest when it came to playing the 4 videos of the test.
In conclusion and evaluating all the results:
- Firefox is almost surpassing Chrome in several aspects
- followed by Opera which is a browser with a lot of potential and although it consumes much more CPU, it has many new and useful functions that are worth the expense.
- For Microsoft Edge we must say that it has a long way to go to be able to overcome its opponents.
*Note: I invite you to take the tests on your own so you can improve your criteria regarding this controversial topic. What results did you get in the different tests? Leave them in the comments!
