On: Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer

I’d be curious to see how Safari stacks up. I switched to it when I was finding Firefox too slow a long time and have largely stuck with it because of inertia. Very happy with it as a browser though.

Safari has the fastest JavaScript engine by far. It has been #1 on JetStream for years by large margin, JavaScriptCore greatly outperforming both V8 and SpiderMonkey.

If you switch to Mac you can get Safari numbers, which seem to be about the same or just slower than Chrome, and now Firefox as well:

Safari blows the doors off everyone. Nearly 10% faster on same hardware.
