New Peacekeepers browser benchmark

There is a new version of the Sysinternals Peacekeeper browser benchmarks. Besides nice pictures, it is also a test for experimental Canvas graphics, evaluated but not in the official assessment.


Here is a list of the most important results:



(all the details at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ro8suUR_xUNG9R7gHm_Il2A )

wins in the standings (again), Google Chrome, in the practical "Social Network" Category (which is an Ajax page to Facebook pattern simulated) but Opera in the lead. In general, the poor only by his performance in "Data" benchmark (active to digest of JavaScript arrays) reflected, while it may well be a bug in this alpha version. Nevertheless, Opera, together with the somewhat weaker Firefox 3.5, the attainments midfield, but this is a huge advantage of features more than offset.

far behind in all categories of Microsoft Internet Explorer, and this is the new version 8 already be twice as fast as the still widely used IE7.

Conclusion: towards better practice by the pure reference Javascript browsers Peacekeeper forces itself as a tool for assessing performance in the "Browser War" almost on. The results show that Internet Explorer is still hopelessly lagging behind all other products, and you are using a different browser in any case better off.

IX Quick Metasearch


times today an alternative to Googling ... ääh ... Look;) Ixquick is a metasearch engine, ie in the background, various search engines queried and summarized the results to a results list. Ixquick uses including Ask, Altavista, Exalead, MSN, Open Directory, Wikipedia and Yahoo.

also lays great Ixquick Value on the privacy of the user - therefore, no IP addresses. Ixquick also supports HTTPS connections, ie, the provider (or employer), the search requests and results are not recorded with (the following page views, however, already).

The search results are quite used to the level of Google, but you must pay a little bit better on the language, ie German or even German settings. For fast switching, there are YubNub commands, "ii" is the English, "ideal" the German version.

times but if you want to compare results with Google to offer Scroogle - a web service of an anonymous search against Google offers (also available via SSL and localized (eg German )

Opera 10 Alpha (Updated)

After much experimentation with Chrome / Chromium in recent weeks, I read a very good review on the Alpha The 10th version of Opera Opera avowed fan of course I had to try the same time ... here are my impressions:)

The first is the speed - Opera 10 is nearly twice as fast as Opera 9.64 and the current stable version of Firefox (the "Performance" of IE7 you have probably not comment).

As the Peacekeeper benchmark occupied, added Opera to Chrome 10 minded, complex sites like gMail compared to version 9.64 is too subjective a significant speed increase significantly.

And if one adjusts the number of toolbars a bit, the UI is at least as slim as that of the baby blue "Google Browser":

And of course, Opera is still a lot of features, of which Chrome (like most other browser can also miss) the most:

  • adblocker at run time with a single click extensible, supports filter lists
  • online synchronization for bookmarks etc.
  • full configurable UI (menus / Buttons / toolbars / keyboard shortcuts SpeedDial side) and Themes / Skins
  • Configurable cache size and behavior, their own proxy settings
  • Sidebar for Bookmarks, History, Downloads, etc.
  • "When IE / Firefox mask" + "Open With" Options for incompatible websites
  • Site-specific settings for Adblock, user scripts, Javascript, sounds, etc.
  • integrated Bittorrent client, and Google Gears client
  • Integrated Email Client / RSS / News Reader
  • integrated IRC chat client
  • Integrated Greasemonkey / User JavaScript and User CSS Support

New in version 10:

  • "frame" context menu
  • Automatic Updates
  • Integrated spelling and translation
  • Turbo mode (compressed transfer for slow Internet connections)
  • 30% faster engine and no compatibility problems (! Honest)

All this requires between 8 (!!!) and about 20 MB on the flash drive (then already including email data). The start value for the comparable combination of Firefox and Thunderbird is about 70 MB, and even chromium cracks quickly once the 100MB mark, because an awful lot history information is stored for two months.

For Alpha Opera 10 version is incredibly stable, crashes or display problems that were with the Chrome beta, and snapshots of the agenda items, I could not be established in 5 days of continuous use, Opera 9.64 and my profile could be more easily use. Some problem pages (Blogspot!) now work even better than before.

As for me, Opera is 10 to further my default browser. Whether Opera 10 can finally prevail on the market, the future will show the makings of a "Killer Chrome" he has all.
