My Speedometer results on an M1 Mac are: - Chrome v99: 204 - Safari: 266 How come I fall so far short of the post's advertised fastest-of-any-browser 300? Edit: Running in incognito got me a 251, so some of the slowdown must be from extensions. Edit 2: Seems like 1password and uBlock Origin decrease the score by around 30 each, I got a 276 with both disabled.

Can you maybe also do a test for Firefox on your machine? I'm very interested in seeing how it holds up.

  I get sub-150 on an M1 Pro in Firefox.

    Do you know why you're Mac getting low results? Other users are getting 200+

      I'm sure it has something to do with using ad blockers and other extensions. I don't use Firefox for its cutting edge speed so I didn't really think too much of it.

  I get 240 with Firefox nightly (no addons) on a Mac Air M1.

  207 on my M1 Max, v98.0 stable.

I get ~304 (all extensions disabled) but that's on an M1 Max. Other differences might be the amount of background apps/tasks - I usually keep mine pretty slim.

Saw about the same impact of 1p and uBO in Firefox.

On my i9 2.4GHz 8-core, 64GB RAM, 2019 Mac, and with no extensions: - Chrome v99: 168 - Firefox v97: 132 - Safari v15: 139 Of course I forgot to benchmark Chrome _before_ I updated it. :(

  Not directly comparable, but on my Ryzen 2600X 32GB desktop that I built in early 2019 update didn't do anything. - Chrome 98: 157 - Chrome 99: 157 - Firefox 97: 104 - Edge 99: 146 Oh well.

    Call me immature but the version numbers are making me wonder if there's going to be a Firefox ME or Chrome 2000 released soon..

I got Chrome v99: 290, Safari v15.3: 279 on M1Max MPB I suspect it might go faster if I turn off scaling.

Hmm on my m1 air (16GB) I get a score of 300 ± 15 in incognito.

Chrome starts with different options for different users to try out new features. They state which features they ran the benchmarks with in the fine print below the article: "Data source for Mac statistics: Speedometer 2.0 comparing Chrome 99.0.4812.0 --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization --use-cmd-decoder=passthrough "

Maybe because Safari runs exclusively on MacOS and so can have a lot of OS specific optimizations ?

On my old fx8350 (overclocked) I get 60 in windows but 70 on linux with the same browser, Vivaldi. I wonder what the difference is.
