In March 2011, we are seeing three major browser releases. Internet Explorer 9 has been released on March 14, 2011. Last week, Google released Chrome 10 and on March 22 Mozilla Firefox 4 will be released.
Michael Muchmore of PC Mag.com conducted a wide range of benchmark test on these three browsers and Chrome 10 comes out as the winner. He focused on Interface, Speed, Security and Privacy, Standards Support, and Extra features.
In terms of Interface – All three browsers followed Chrome’s footsteps and took over simplistic UI. All of them have tabbed browsing features and each has its own special features. For example, Chrome’s web store that lets you install websites, Firefox’s “Panorama Tab Manager,” and IE9’s website pin feature.
Three JS engines- SunSpider, Mozilla Kraken and Google V8 (V.6) has been used to test the speed.
In terms of HTML5, IE9 wins hands down. Both Chrome 10 and IE9 offers better security features. However one major weakness of IE9 is that it would only run on Windows 7 and further but Google Chrome 10 runs on all types of OS. To see details of the test visit:
