Futuremark tests show that Safari 4.0 is the fastest browser in Javascript performance followed by Chrome 2.0 Beta, Chrome 1.0, Safari 3.2, Opera 10, Firefox 3.5b4, Opera 9.6, Firefox 3.0, IE 8, then last IE 7.
Here at Futuremark, we like measuring and comparing things so our Peacekeeper service is designed to measure a browser’s JavaScript performance. This is important because many modern dynamic websites make extensive use of JavaScript to provide navigation, forms and other features. Changing browsers to one with a high Peacekeeper score could make these sites faster and more responsive.
