Most browser makers have been aggressively promoting improved JavaScript performance for over a year and a half, when Mozilla began touting the performance boost that its new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine provided to Firefox 3.5. "Try installing the beta and see how fast it launches - there's hardly even time for the icon in the dock to bounce!" "As you might expect, the speed of Google Chrome for Mac is something we're very proud of," said Brian Rakowski, a Chrome product manager, in a post to Google's blog. Instead, the company bragged about Chrome's quick start-up on the Mac.
Google made no direct JavaScript speed claims for its Mac beta Tuesday, as it has regularly with its Windows browser. The last time Computerworld tested Chrome on Windows - in September, with Chrome 3.0 - Google's browser handily beat all rivals, including second-place Safari.Ĭomputerworld ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark suite in Mac OS X 10.6 three times for each browser, then averaged the scores. That's different than the situation on Windows, where Chrome has been billed as the fastest browser around.
