I'm curious to see some actual benchmarks... In my experience, Chrome still has the fastest JavaScript. It still renders WebGL pages the best (although Emscripten allows Firefox some impressive feats).
Does Safari have some special extensions for the shitty 'native look' apps I encounter at Apple.com? Did their JavaScript engine become 100x faster in the year or so since I've used it? Is the author comparing an iPhone 6S plus to a Galaxy S3?
This article basically raises more questions than answers since there's literally no objective analysis of any sort...
There's not even an example of a page that runs on mobile Safari well but bad on Chrome, to allow me to see for myself. Just lots of handwaving.
Edit - No responses?
Anyhow, I eventually figured I'd try hammerjs' examples, since that's one of OP's projects. On a Galaxy Note 3, Chrome is pretty shit, Firefox works well. On an iPhone 5S, Safari is shit.
- magicalist 11y agobizarre that a comment asking for actual benchmarks is downvoted in the face of a hundred upvoted handwavey comments about people's current favorite browser.
- Mikeb85 11y agoNot that bizarre, lots of threads about the superiority of Apple technology wind up like this. I just found it odd and infuriating that the blog post said Safari is 3-300 times faster, but then literally offered no justification whatsoever. Also didn't even show a link to anything that can be tested, literally nothing objective.
