Poll Browser performance testing

[Artlav]

Recently i've been porting my programming environment to output JS, to have the ability to produce programs that can be run from the browser.
Keeping up with the modern times.

This is uncharted territory for me, and so i want to get some basic data on whether things work and how well.

So i would appreciate if you ran the tests on as many systems and browsers as you have around, noting the device/OS/CPU/browser and the score obtained in both tests (or what their failure looked like).

This is a couple of versions of the classic Dhrystone test i compiled with different settings.

These are performance tests, and so would completely hang the browser for about 5 seconds. Naturally, don't open them both at once.
It's a good idea to run then a couple times for consistency (by reloading the page).

There goes my plan to secretly mine Bitcoins inside a game that went viral.

But seriously, a browser is the sort of sandbox people seem to trust while downloading and installing something on the computer is frowned upon and is usually even explicitly prohibited.

There is a lot of potential here - you can write software and share it as easily as writing and sharing written text.

Maybe. Maybe not. In any case i want to experiment and try a few things, up to and including a browser/webgl port of Spaceway, and see what would happen.

I have a few levels of 'security' on my PC, and the biggest one is not doing over network installations (download zips or msi's), then disabling Java as much a possible, or many of it's features.. blah blah blah..
Although it's impossible to achieve absolute 'security', every little bit helps.

There is a lot of potential here - you can write software and share it as easily as writing and sharing written text.

I agree as there are a lot of people willing to go this route.

I'm just careful as I have a lot of development stuff on the PC, and although I regularly back up, this is not what I'd do. Although it might not be your code, someone else might be able to maliciously hi-jack your code - this you'd have to be aware of ..as Java is notoriously insecure, and has been for donkey's years.

Thanks everyone who posted the results so far.
It's curious to see Edge being the best out there. :blink:
And contrary to popular belief, Firefox is not actually faster than Chrome.

as Java is notoriously insecure, and has been for donkey's years.

You do realise that there is a world of a difference between Java and JavaScript? About as much as between Orbiter the Space Shuttle and Orbiter Space Sim, in fact, despite the similar-sounding names.
Just checking.

From what I gathered a lot of old bits and pieces of Internet Explorer were gutted from Edge which were only there for backwards compatibility's sake.

Regarding speed between different browsers: it must be noted that they are updated on a very quick cycle, and even between my tests on the tablet and the desktop a new (minor) update for Chrome came out: that's why I noted the complete version number. Things might very well change.

He's generating Java Script, not Java applets. Completely different thing. It's not compiled and it's executed by the browser, not downloaded and then executed by the system.
