Comparing Browser JavaScript Performance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lining-'em-up dept.

Thwomp writes "Over at Coding Horror Jeff Atwood has an interesting writeup on JavaScript performance in the big four browsers. He used WebKit's newly announced SunSpider to produce the results. If a probable anomaly in the IE7 results is overlooked, Firefox 2 is the slowest of the bunch. Atwood has also benchmarked the latest Firefox Beta, and its performance seems to be improved significantly."

    Yeah, what's far more important to me than "how fast does this browser run Javascript?" is "how easily does the browser non run Javascript?" As far as Opera goes - press F12, uncheck "Enable JavaScript".

    Then whitelist sites you trust through site preferences.
