Chrome vs Firefox 3.1 and IE 8
Usability: the winner is Chrome
There are no words to say that Chrome is absolute wiiner with its minimalism. The address panel can be used as search panel, no matter what you are typing: web address or search request and etc.
Additional Plugins: the winner is Firefox
At the present moment Firefox is still on top. I have never see so many plugins for browsers as Firefox has.
Speed: the winner - Chrome
At daily use Chrome quickly copes with processing of pages. Time of loading of an identical set of pages for each browser at the stand with Core 2 Duo have appeared minimal. And here on old laptop Chrome has appeared noticeably faster.
Speed of processing Java was tested by tools of benchmark Sunspider, in addition the volume of borrowed operative memory with one opened tab and with ten was fixed.
Sunspider results:
- Firefox 3.1 - 1771.4ms
- IE8 - 6837.6ms
- Chrome - 1923.0ms
We opened 10 different pages (blog, news feed, YouTube, mail etc.) and measured the volume of memory.
- Firefox 3.1 – 91 Mb
- IE8 – 230 Mb
- Chrome – 141 Mb
Time of start:
- Firefox - 37s
- Chrome - 15s
- IE8 - n/a
Time of loading of page:
- Firefox - 8s
- Chrome - 11s
- IE8 - n/a
Other important point is stability. For Firefox all your open pages are incorporated, and in case of lag of loaded page the application will be closed completely with all windows loaded earlier. Chrome and IE process every tab as separate process that allows to close astable page without harm for other tabs. As in Chrome is convenient tab manager, allowing to supervise use of memory separate tabs and to close astable page in case of its lag.
Security: the winner IE
Internet Explorer is still the most secure browser.
Conclusion: The winner of all tests is Firefox. But who knows how i change my opinion when plugins for Chrome appear.
