While probably working on 3DMark Vantage's successor, Futuremark has decided to expand its online reach and launch the Peacekeeper browser benchmark. Available here in beta form, Peacekeeper will test out browsers to point out which one delivers the best performance on your system.

The five tests conducted are data structures, DOM (Document Object Model) operations, text parsing, rendering, and 'real life example', and they will give out a score, the higher the better, of course. From Peacekeeper's statistics Safari 4.0 (beta) is the fastest thing around, coring 2264 points on a Core i7 system, followed by Chrome 1.0 and Opera 9.6. Interestingly-enough, the most popular browser tested is Firefox (3.0.6), followed by Chrome 1.0 and Opera 9.63. Internet Explorer 7 is on fourth. Enough statistics, let's see your scores.

It is a cool way to see how each browser responds on different system, Hopefully we will see each of the browsers fight for the top spot. It can only mean a better browser for all of us. Whatever you're particular browser choice is.
re post different source
Pretty cool, got 254 points on my Maxthon2 browser, but the benchmark won't finish on FireFox.
lol, there's already a browser benchmark

its called Acid3 Test. And rather than just coming up with a numeric value for overall performance, it tells you how well your browser conforms to web standards.

That's not a benchmark. That's a standards compliance test. It has nothing to do with how quickly a browser can render certain elements on a page.

I think they're getting a bit silly with the benchmarks.

well, which would you rather have? the browser that renders .01337 seconds faster, or the one that has a better chance of properly displaying web pages?

Yes, I can boost my e-peen even more!!! xD
I don't go by "what's the fastest" when I choose a browser. This benchmark is useless to me.

What do you have against this browser benchmark program? It just gives everyone a general idea of the speed differences between the different browsers. The ACID tests have their own place. You don't have to try and sell it like it's the same better than Peacekeeper. They're two totally different tests.

well we all know that there are three kinds of lies:

EDIT: I saw the light and moved to google chrome, see my last post for latest versions.
I get approx. 600 with Firefox 2 (my primary browser), but I get 1,760 with Chrome. I still prefer the older Firefox, but this benchmark is relatively neat, I suppose.

I'm curious to what tests this performs and how weighted the tests are for the score. Some browsers could be "unfairly" represented (if browsers excel in one area but do poorly in another)

This aside, Safari 4 appears to exceed all others. Sweet.
Just run the bench for yourself mate, google futuremark peacemaker browser test, should find the page there on results, it tests all elements of browsers, it shows what tests are done at the bottom of the screen while its testing each bit. I prefer Google Chrome because its menu's and features are more user friendly and simpler/sleek in design.
i got 3999 with chrome
