New Relic has posted an infographic that reveals the fastest browsers by platform.
No matter how quickly your app code performs, if the end user's browser is slowing things down, your application risks delivering a less-than-optimal user experience. So, which browsers are the fastest and which are the most popular? Using our Real User Monitoring (RUM) feature, New Relic culled the average browser speeds experienced by end users of nearly 3 million application instances. Here's who came out on top.
Notably, the infographic indicates that BlackBerry 5.0 is the fastest browser for mobile devices. Its speed is far better than its closest rival. BlackBerry 5.0 had an average page load time of 1.55s compared to Opera Mini 4.2 at 4.78s and iPad Safari 7.0 at 4.91s.

I doubt the BlackBerry 5 browser is faster than iPad Safari or the Android stock browser. Have they seriously used the BB browser? What did they test it on? A html Hello World page?
