Acid3 Test: Best browser performance Opera 10 beta 2. Firefox 3.5.3 and Epiphany 2.26.1 slightly fail

Posted on 12. Aug, 2009 by Dragos in Apps

First of all, I am a Ubuntu user, so all tests made by me were performed on a Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope OS. Results may differ a little bit in other operating systems.

So, I took the Acid3 Test with three different browsers – Opera 10 beta 2, Firefox 3.5.3 pre and Epiphany 2.26.1 . Note that Epiphany is built on a Gecko 1.9 engine, so its results should be almost the same as Firefox 3.

Opera 10 beta 2:

Firefox 3.5.3 pre:

Epiphany 2.26.1:

So, obviously, Opera 10 is the winner. I must admit that the new Opera is indeed fast and working smoothly, but as a Firefox fan, I just hope that the 4th version will perform as well as Opera 10 (or better ).

As for Epiphany, those results are a good motivation to switch from older versions of Firefox to the newest stable version 3.
