The new beta version of Firefox and Google Chrome out in the market have made huge steps in the speed of browsing. When Google released its Chrome browser, they ran a Javascript test for speed on the Mozilla Firefox 3, Chrome, its beta version, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari 3.1.2. Amazingly, Chrome came in first, as the fastest in the speed test. It scored an overall 1851. Mozilla Firefox came in second with 205. And running the same type of test on the later version of Google’s Chrome, the speed is boosted with a browser’s score to 2265. Clearly, a 22% increase in its speed. Firefox still came in second with a score increase of about 15%. But this test was done without its new Javascript TraceMonkey engine enabled because of some bugs needed to be fixed. Last September it fixed its bug and enabled the TraceMonkey, expectedly, it rose to lead on the speed competition of these browsers.
