ZDNet
Australia on Tuesday released updated browser speeds, as measured by the
industry-standard
SunSpider JavaScript test, and the results should give pause to
proprietary-browser makers Microsoft and Opera Software. Every open-source
browser completely obliterated the proprietary browsers in terms of performance,
and by a huge margin. The test compared Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 Release
Candidate 1, Opera 10.00 Alpha, Firefox 3.1b1, Chrome 2.0.158.0, and the WebKit
r40220 developer project included in Chrome and Apple's Safari.
