1   Firefox 4 and Opera

Just heard3 about this new benchmark Kraken4, so I tried it with FF4 beta and Opera 10.61. I only have two browsers on my system currently, its too bad that I dont have Chromium to compare because the results are quite interesting

TEST                         COMPARISON            FROM                 TO               DETAILS

As you can see FF4 is faster in three categories of tests: ai, audio and imaging; and slower in json and crypto categories. Last month, from results of SunSpider, Opera 10.61 is faster than FF4.0b5pre. Now, with tests above, FF4.0b7pre is faster.

I ran it four times, two of them crashed Firefox and this test used a lot of memory, more than 1 GB. I am also compiling Chromium for this benchmark, result will be added later.

See the image by yourself:


I have Opera 10 and Firefox 3.5 to show you how I don't like the select box in Chrome (4.0.275.0, Chromium) on Linux. You can see the dropdown box is shorter than text input and the button. It creates strange visual distraction, quite annoying. The others two browsers have same tall UI elements, I don't know what's wrong with Chrome.

The HTML code is:
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Hello HTML</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Hello World!</p>
    <input type="text" value="Text Input"/>
    <input type="button" value="Click on me!"/>
    <select>
      <option>This is always shorter and I hate that!</option>
      <option>Option2</option>
    </select>
  </body>
</html>

I don't have any other WebKit-based browser installed, therefore I really don't know if this is Chrome's problem or Webkit's. I hope it will have same visual appearance in further releases. I couldn't find an issue on its list about, but I am also lazy to create one. So give me a link, I will star it.

It's still the same story...
