Browserbench Releases Speedometer 3.0

[engine]

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla are involved in the browserbench and it has released Speedometer 3.0, a shared browser benchmark for web application responsiveness.

This is the first time the Speedometer benchmark, or any major browser benchmark, has been developed through a cross-industry collaboration supported by each major browser engine: Blink/V8, Gecko/SpiderMonkey, and WebKit/JavaScriptCore. It’s been developed under a new governance model, driven by consensus, and is hosted in a shared repository that’s open to contribution. This new structure involves a lot of collective effort: discussions, research, debates, decisions, and hundreds of PRs since we announced the project in December 2022.

That sounds like a useful idea, and a place where improvements can be the result. I will read more about it. TY!

OK, having run the test, I only have a score. I need to go back into the Browserbench site to understand it. I got an unimpressive 14.6 on Safari, but have no clue what was measured and how much the speed of the process is determined by a cranky connection - or not.

Edited to add, I have downloaded the .csv file and it might tell me more of what I am looking for when I look through the actual steps. I did notice that they offered links to find out more before testing, but I passed that by to get an idea of the process. Maybe I should have read more first.

A clean machine (nothing in background, a new browser session) does make a difference ... though not huge. Since this is measuring application responsiveness rather than the browser specific, it provides some info in how much "drag" some apps can have on the experience.

As the instructions reveal this is not really a speed test, it is a responsive test and differences between the various js-frameworks out there.

Just for fun tried a Win7 FF 115esr version and got a 6.91. :)

Doesn't run in all browsers.
