Firefox 3 (3.1) vs. Google Chrome vs. Safari 3 vs. Opera 9.5 vs. Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) vs. Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)
September 3, 2008
John Resig did a great job by comparing Firefox 3, Firefox 3.1, Google Chrome, Safari 3, Opera 9.5, Internet Explorer 8 and 7 JavaScript performance.
JavaScriptCore: The engine that powers Safari/WebKit (up until Safari 3.1).
SquirrelFish: The engine used by Safari 4.0.
V8: The engine used by Google Chrome.
SpiderMonkey: The engine that powers Firefox (up to, and including, Firefox 3.0).
TraceMonkey: The engine that will power Firefox 3.1 and newer (currently in nightlies, but disabled by default).
Futhark: The engine used in Opera 9.5 and newer.
IE JScript: The engine that powers Internet Explorer.
Feel free to check his post here.










Are you sure the opera’s engine is name Futhark? Sources if any?

I’ll wait for Firefox 3.1 and its new javascript engine. Chrome is a hog.
My rate is
1:(opera & chrome)(opera: some perfect build-in futures like mail client, perfect download manager, web searches, speed-dial, support bittorrent protocol and….)
(Chrome: to fast web searching, perfect JavaScript engine, so simple, low memory usage, nice view in ajax pages)
2:FireFox3
(good JavaScript engine, faster than IE slower than chrome)
3:IE
(End-low version, to hang and crash, low security)
The Think google chrom will the best browser in the world

Not true on my computer. It’s quite the contrary. Chrome uses even more resources than IE 7.
google chrome is best
Pretty constructive comment!
I have done some tests on the memory consumptions between Google Chrome and Firefox. Read my article for more details.http://reviewgooglechrome.com/google-chrome-vs-firefox/google-chrome-vs-firefox-memory-test/84/
firefox, safari, internet explorer and opera: they all suk
THE BEST IS GOOGLE CHROME FAST, SECURE AND VERY GOOD LOOKING
YEA GOOGLE CHROME
vamos rayados!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, Google Chrome Beta (yes, it’s still in beta) which was released not long ago should not be compared with any browser because it has been released for a short while and this is there first browser and it’s just a Beta (not the completed version) unlike Firefox, and yet it still manages to challenge Firefox. Wait until Google releases 1-3 more updates/upgrades/newer versions to Google chrome and then try it again and most of you would like it (or since i’m now posting this, try the latest version of Google Chrome) but if you want add-ons/extensions that don’t slow down your browser or cause other issues like with Firefox, give Google 5 months - 1 year. Also, Google Chrome, believe it or not, is much faster, has a cleaner interface, uses less memory, crashes less than Firefox (with me) and is more secure and Google releases 10-30 nightly builds of Google Chrome everyday and also has a Developers/Testers channel which has newer versions of Google Chrome every 1-2 weeks (with a change log and new features etc) which are tested before they are publicly released.
I don’t think we should expect some final version of google Chrome in a near future, as we all know, Google Inc. always put services in a beta service, and this last for a lon long time (in a galaxy?).
So we can compare it to other browsers.
