Firefox Takes the Performance Crown From Chrome

Posted by timothy on Tuesday July 2, 2013 @02:08AM from the war-you-can-win dept.

diegocg writes "Recent browser benchmarks are showing surprising results: in 'a geometric mean of all four performance-based categories: Wait Times, JavaScript/DOM, HTML5/CSS3, and Hardware Acceleration,' Firefox 22 'pulls off an upset, replacing the long-time performance champion Google Chrome 27 as the new speed king.' (Other browsers benchmarked were IE10, Opera 12, and Opera Next.) With these results, and Firefox developers focusing in fixing the UI sluggishness, can this be the start of a Firefox comeback, after years of slow market share decline?"

Not if it isn't going to give me the ability to disable javascript it isn't.
Not even a little. If I can't decide what will and won't run on the browser, I won't be using it.
