A new speed milestone for Chrome

Re:A new speed milestone for Chrome by underyx on Monday March 07, 2022 @11:29PM (#30596451)

My Speedometer results on an M1 Mac are:

- Chrome v99: 204

- Safari: 266

How come I fall so far short of the post's advertised fastest-of-any-browser 300?

Edit: Running in incognito got me a 251, so some of the slowdown must be from extensions.

Edit 2: Seems like 1password and uBlock Origin decrease the score by around 30 each, I got a 276 with both disabled.

Chrome starts with different options for different users to try out new features. They state which features they ran the benchmarks with in the fine print below the article:

"Data source for Mac statistics: Speedometer 2.0 comparing Chrome 99.0.4812.0 --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization --use-cmd-decoder=passthrough "

M1Pro

Chrome v98: 290 Chrome v99: 316 Safari : 278

All were with incognito/private browsing to remove the effect of extensions

Can you maybe also do a test for Firefox on your machine? I'm very interested in seeing how it holds up.

I get 240 with Firefox nightly (no addons) on a Mac Air M1.

Do you know why you're Mac getting low results? Other users are getting 200+

I'm sure it has something to do with using ad blockers and other extensions. I don't use Firefox for its cutting edge speed so I didn't really think too much of it.

Hmm on my m1 air (16GB) I get a score of 300 ± 15 in incognito.

I get ~304 (all extensions disabled) but that's on an M1 Max. Other differences might be the amount of background apps/tasks - I usually keep mine pretty slim.

Maybe because Safari runs exclusively on MacOS and so can have a lot of OS specific optimizations ?

On my old fx8350 (overclocked) I get 60 in windows but 70 on linux with the same browser, Vivaldi. I wonder what the difference is.

On my i9 2.4GHz 8-core, 64GB RAM, 2019 Mac, and with no extensions:

- Chrome v99: 168

- Firefox v97: 132

- Safari v15: 139

Of course I forgot to benchmark Chrome _before_ I updated it. :(

Not directly comparable, but on my Ryzen 2600X 32GB desktop that I built in early 2019 update didn't do anything.

- Chrome 98: 157

- Chrome 99: 157

- Firefox 97: 104

- Edge 99: 146

Oh well.

Call me immature but the version numbers are making me wonder if there's going to be a Firefox ME or Chrome 2000 released soon..

I got Chrome v99: 290, Safari v15.3: 279 on M1Max MPB I suspect it might go faster if I turn off scaling.

Saw about the same impact of 1p and uBO in Firefox.
