Goole VS Firefox, IE, Safari in speed test

Stephen Shankland posted Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari at CNET.COM on September 2, 2008, it shows Google Chrome overpowers the other browsers(Google Chrome Beta, IE 8 beta, IE 7, Safari 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.0.1) on the five subtests by which Google measures its browser's JavaScript performance.
"Lars Bak, the Google engineer who was the technical leader for Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, said at the launch event Tuesday he's confident Chrome is "many times faster" than the rivals at running JavaScript, the programming language that powers Google Docs, Gmail, and many other Web applications.
But when pressed for specifics, he told me to try them out. So I did.
Google offers a site with five JavaScript benchmarks. On each one of these tests, Chrome clearly trounced the competition. I hope benchmarking experts and developers will weigh in with comments about how well these tests represent true JavaScript performance on the Web--either for ordinary sites or for rich Web apps."
Google's Chrome overpowers the other browsers on the five subtests by which Google measures its browser's JavaScript performance.
Here's the site description of the speed tests:
- Richards: OS kernel simulation benchmark, originally written in BCPL by Martin Richards (539 lines).
- DeltaBlue: One-way constraint solver, originally written in Smalltalk by John Maloney and Mario Wolczko (880 lines).
- Crypto: Encryption and decryption benchmark based on code by Tom Wu (1,689 lines).
- RayTrace: Ray tracer benchmark based on code by Adam Burmister (3,418 lines).
- EarleyBoyer: Classic Scheme benchmarks, translated to JavaScript by Florian Loitsch's Scheme2Js compiler (4,682 lines).
Google's overall score is head and shoulders above the competition for executing JavaScript.

Chrome is the fastest browser I've ever used!

Chrome is an amazingly fast browser, however, Mozilla has made some major improvements to Firefox. With the release of Firefox 3.1 beta 1, Chrome now has a direct competitor when it comes to speed. Mozilla has introduced their new java engine that can be enabled in "about:config" in their new Firefox beta. With this java engine enabled, Firefox becomes a little bit faster than Chrome. Mozilla plans to have this new java engine (dubbed "tracemonkey") enabled by default when they release the stable version of Firefox 3.1. Chrome is going to have to get even faster if it wants to continue being number 1.
P.S. I love both Firefox and Chrome. :)

Chrome is known for being a fast browser and that is very nice, there's always improvements with every updates. We're hungry for more speed and i think chrome sets the bar and motivates all the industry to get better performance. Great food for though to think how far we went with technology in 10-20 years.

I think the other browsers have caught up now for the most part.
