Benchmark Battle, September 2015: Chrome Vs. Firefox Vs. Edge

An anonymous reader writes: The next browser battle is upon us. Edge has been out for more than a month, and its two biggest competitors have received significant updates: Chrome 45 and Firefox 40. This article puts all three through their paces, and each manages to win a few tests. Edge convincingly won the JetSteam and SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks, while also eking out a victory in Google's Octane test. Chrome was victorious in Mozilla's Kraken benchmark for JavaScript performance, while also edging out Firefox in HTML5Test and the Oort Online WebGL test. Firefox won the WebXPRT test that combines HTML5 and JavaScript performance, and also the Peacekeeper test for general browser performance. There's no clear dominant browser for performance, and none of the three are obvious laggards, either. Browser competition seems to be in a good place right now.

What happens when you turn off Javascript?

Re:All useless. Edge is missing huge features.

Edge doesn't let me, or a script, print just one frame or iframe content or selection content. Making it useless

Right, because my #1 use case for the internet is to print web pages so a browser that can't do that is 100% useless. I'm glad I finally ran into the other person who uses the internet the same way I do.

I had to write this comment twice. I forgot that printing your post and writing my reply underneath it doesn't actually post anything.
