The latest version of Chrome brought some major performance improvements, skyrocketing the browser to the top of the charts. The outdated rendering engine of the AOSP browser shows its age here and the browser comes in last in the benchmark. The results from the Octane benchmark paint a totally different compared to the SunSpider benchmarks. The AOSP Browser, which has not been updated in 10 months now, came out on top with a score of 1365ms.
Except for the older version of Chrome, all the three other Webkit browsers performed more or less within ~3% of each other.įirefox with its Gecko engine performed admirably and nabbed the second position. The new version of Chrome brings about a major improvement in performance, but it is still nowhere near AOSP browser or Firefox. For comparison’s sake, I have also included the scores of the previous version of Chrome (v26), and Chrome Beta.
OPERA VS OPERA BETA ANDROID UPDATE
The AOSP browser is now defunct, and was last bundled by Google with the Android 4.1 update for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S. Keep in mind that technically Opera and Chrome are using the same rendering engine, while Firefox is using its own Gecko rendering engine. With all the three most popular browsers on Android getting major updates, I decided to put them through some benchmarks to see how they perform. The latest version of Firefox also fixed some bugs and brought about some under-the-hood improvements. The Opera web browser based on the Webkit engine finally came out of beta earlier this week, while the Google team pushed out Chrome v27 that comes with the new full-screen mode, and stability and performance improvements. Over the last couple of weeks, all the popular browsers for Android – Chrome, Firefox and Opera – received major updates.
