This is fantastic! Speedometer 1.0 was a breath of fresh air, and 2.0 was a much-needed refresh, but it's really been showing its age in recent years. 3.0 looks like a solid upgrade with many new kinds of sub-tests, contemporary frameworks, etc. I'm looking forward to sucking at this, and then slowly and systematically improving. :^)

Good luck! FYI, there's a hidden developer menu that's handy for browser developers to change the number of iterations, select specific tests, etc: https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.0/?developerMode, and ?startAutomatically avoids needing to click the button to start the tests.

Yeah this tracks, Apple clearly have sold their souls to the devil to get the performance they have on iOS. It's basically the sole reason I have an iPhone.

Try it here: https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.0/ Very unscientific results using a Mac Studio - Chrome: 20.4, Safari: 17.9, Firefox: 20.1. Safari on an iPhone 13 Pro Max - 16.5.

I'm getting 27.7 in Safari 17.4 on an M1 Pro MacBook. I'm puzzled how you got so low on a Mac Studio.

Another Mac Studio M1 with Safari 17.4:

  22.7 with Content Blocker
  28.7 without Content Blocker

That was it, thanks! I thought I'd controlled for this by using a Private Window, but I'm getting 25.9 with extensions disabled (compared to 17.9 in my original post).

On my M2 MBA (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD):

REGULAR MODE

Safari 17.3.1: 27.1

Safari 17.3.1 (Private): 26.2

Firefox 123.0.1 (uBlock Disabled, Enhanced Tracking Protection Disabled): 29.5

Firefox 123.0.1 (w/ uBlock Enabled, ETP Enabled): 27.1

LOW POWER MODE

Safari 17.3.1: 17.37

Safari 17.3.1 (Private): 16.99

Firefox 123.0.1 (uBlock Disabled, Enhanced Tracking Protection Disabled): 20.0

Firefox 123.0.1 (w/ uBlock Enabled, ETP Enabled): 17.8

Safari has 0 extensions installed, and Firefox 0 extensions installed besides uBlock Origin. Benchmarks were run with each browser as the sole application open and plugged in to a power supply.

It crashes on my iPhone 14 Pro.

Any track plays completely garbage on Edge. The beat skips, the sound cuts off. This one for instance: https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/F/Fate/World_R... I think Edge's problems come from some kind of power efficiency setting, not necessarily performance-related. (Like a low-granularity JS timer, or something like that) EDIT: Turning off all efficiency settings on Edge didn't make any difference: 11.0

Do you have your Windows power plan on Performance? Maybe thats the difference? Definitely would be a bummer if web audio didn't work reliably on the default power plan (which is Balanced iirc)

It’s on High Performance, yes.

> Samsung S24 Galaxy

Curious: Is it the Exynos version (Rest of the world) or the Snapdragon version (US, China)?

On my machine, Firefox got 12.3, and Edge (Chromium) got 12.8. I don't believe that the performance characteristics of these two are that close unless I'm missing something. For example, audio players on Edge stutter a lot while Firefox plays them smoothly. An example is: https://deepsid.chordian.net/ I believe Edge is slower not because Chromium is slow, but because of Microsoft's overreaching efforts on energy cons…

Other interesting notes:

- Firefox on WSL2 on the same machine gets 10.1 despite that the rendering must be horribly slow since it goes through Remote Desktop layer.

- Firefox gets a 25% speed boost when I disable 1Password extension. Disabling it on Edge makes no difference.

Comparing a 3 year old iPhone mini to the current Galaxy is a Platform Warcrime.
