My OperaBrowser Speed Test - Opera vs Google's Chromium
Tuesday, February 24, 2009 8:03:21 AM
This isn't exactly a 100% fair test. Why? Well, I don't have Vista, XP, 2KPro, any version of Mac (other than Leo4All), or any other currently installed Operating Systems other than Arch Linux. So these results are totally biased to my machine (at least until I do further testing).
With that out of the way, I'd like to say, Opera, you won by a landslide. I mean, the difference between Chromium loading the page and Opera 10 were totally amazing.
Well, enough with the jibber jabber, as they say, "a picture is worth 1000 words" well, this picture is worth even more, it proves that Opera is def the better browser (again, at least on my system).
Please note, I did not scale the image, so it is 1920x1200 pixels. If your browser doesn't scale it automatically, please download it and view it in an image viewer. Also, the original image is ~8.8Mb, so it was a large download for an image. As it was so large, I used the Gimp to export it as a gif. The content of the screenshot has not been edited in any way. Regardless, you can see the differences in times and you'll get a feel for why I'm a die hard Opera user.
So without further hesitation, I give you the results:
For The Full Sized Image Click Here (Opens in a new tab/window)
Well, as you can see, when it comes to rendering pages with tables, multiple images (and formats), css, etc. Google just clearly doesn't hold up as Opera walks away being declared the fastest of the two. Congrats Opera Team :]
