Google Chrome remains the dominant web browser in the market in terms of market share, and performance may have a lot to do with it. The company has detailed how it managed to gain so much recently.
Earlier this year, in March, a new web browser benchmark was announced called Speedometer 3.0.
One of the key talking points of the benchmark was how it was developed through an industry-wide collaboration such that all major browser engines like Blink/V8, Gecko/SpiderMonkey, and WebKit/JavaScriptCore would be supported. To make it possible, the likes of Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Intel, and Apple were all involved.
Later on, an independent study showed why such a benchmark was necessary as various modern-day websites were tested on different Arm-based SoCs with varying power, and even an 8-core CPU was seen failing to load some large and heavy sites.
