Interestingly this is not mentioned in this huge post, but according to http://arewefastyet.com/ http://arewefastyet.com/ Firefox JS is faster than Chrome and Safari in all benchmarks in both 32 and 64bit modes since quite a few month!
It used to be that Chrome marketing was pushing for this as being so much faster on Chrome than others so that's a pretty nice feat.
- ksec 12y agoBecause JS Speed don't matter any more, at least out of 90% of times for 90% of internet users. Speed for casual users, means rendering speed, network speed, Browser and web page responsiveness, startup speed etc. Although Firefox did make many incremental steps over the years. It is still not anywhere near the Blink / Chromium offers such as Google Chrome and Opera. e10s should make Firefox competitive. And its still quite a while before it lands.
- zobzu 12y agoi still think being faster than chrome js is a nice feat. specially for html5 gaming. i dont think chrome having faster js back in the days did change much user-wise. gmail was as fast in firefox as it was in chrome... ;)
