Firefox Counters Chrome's Speed Test



To counter Chrome, Google's new browser Mozilla released some performance results of the forthcoming version of Firefox. And according to those results, it outpaces Chrome, reports Cnet.

At the Chrome launch, Google showed performance results of the browser using its collection of 5 JavaScript benchmarks and V8 - Chrome's JavaScript engine. To counter this, Mozilla, a competitor to Google in the Internet browser space has come up with a different test called SunSpider.

SunSpider shows that the forthcoming Firefox 3.1, which uses a JavaScript acceleration technology called TraceMonkey, is faster than Chrome for JavaScript programs. It was 28% faster than Chrome on Windows XP and 16% faster on Vista.
