![]() you can try out chrome on ubuntu here https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa it runs pretty fast and is decent, but I haven't got flash working on it and it's not even beta quality yet so there are some issues. Give it a try though, I've been impressed with it.

![]() Well, I decided to try out the Google V8 Javascript benchmark with a number of different browsers: V8 Benchmark Suite
Here are the results, from fastest to slowest, on the Dell Mini 9. The entry labeled "Score" is the average of all the individual tests below. Chromium 2.0.182.0 (0) Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Mini Score: 673 Richards: 860 DeltaBlue: 679 Crypto: 692 RayTrace: 683 EarleyBoyer: 1315 RegExp: 256 Arora 0.6 Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Mini Score: 398 Richards: 805 DeltaBlue: 424 Crypto: 759 RayTrace: 261 EarleyBoyer: 823 RegExp: 71.5 Firefox 3.5b4 Linux Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Mini Score: 53.0 Richards: 49.3 DeltaBlue: 18.2 Crypto: 174 RayTrace: 40.6 EarleyBoyer: 68.7 RegExp: 50.9 Firefox 3.5b4 in Wine 1.1.21, Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Mini Score: 50.6 Richards: 42.7 DeltaBlue: 51.6 Crypto: 26.6 RayTrace: 65.6 EarleyBoyer: 87.2 RegExp: 49.9 Opera 9.64 Build 2480 Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Mini Score: 47.5 Richards: 33.5 DeltaBlue: 41.1 Crypto: 32.8 RayTrace: 104 EarleyBoyer: 169 RegExp: 14.5 Firefox 3.0.10 Linux Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Mini Score: 45.0 Richards: 50.9 DeltaBlue: 60.2 Crypto: 33.9 RayTrace: 34.7 EarleyBoyer: 62.2 RegExp: 36.9 =============== For comparison, here are scores from my Macbook: Safari 4 Public Beta (5528.16), Mac OS X, Macbook 2GHz Core 2 Duo Score: 1520 Richards: 2527 DeltaBlue: 1790 Crypto: 2373 RayTrace: 1349 EarleyBoyer: 2772 RegExp: 307 Firefox 3.5b4, Mac OS X, Macbook 2GHz Core 2 Duo Score: 258 Richards: 1315 DeltaBlue: 66.8 Crypto: 630 RayTrace: 139 EarleyBoyer: 230 RegExp: 168 =============== Chromium is by far the fastest, but it crashes too much to be my main browser. Arora has excellent Javascript performance, but it doesn't feel faster than Firefox 3.5b4 when using Gmail. For now I might use Chromium for email and Firefox 3.5b4 for everything else... I ran the Windows version of Firefox 3.5b4 in Wine and it worked fine but wasn't much different from the rest. I tried running Chrome (the official Windows version) in Wine, but it unfortunately wouldn't load any pages. |
