Apple has announced shortly that its pretty browser is out of Beta; Safari 4 is a finished product now, ready to be used. According to the technology world giant, Safari 4 is “the world’s fastest and most innovative browser.”
It uses new Nitro engine that runs JavaScript up to 4.5 times faster and speedier than the previous version; Safari 3. Such a boost in speed makes it over four times faster than the Firefox 3, and almost 8 times faster than the IE8. All of us who love using Firefox must give Safari a thought.
Regarding pure HTML, the browser works equally nice. It loads pages, according to Apple CEO Phil Schiller, 3 times faster than the Mozilla browser, whereas more than three times faster than Internet Explorer 8.
Most of the Chrome users are already pretty happy with its speed. Now, it is time to get even happier. Google has released a spanking new Beta for its web browser, which is reportedly a lot speedier than its predecessor.
Google has been updating two release channels since December 2008; Stable and Developer. This beta has been checked for its speed on Google’s V8 Benchmark Suite and SunSpider Benchmark. V8 showed that the new Beta was 25% faster than the current Stable version, and SunSpider showed that it was 35% speedier than the current Stable channel version. Also, the new Beta was more or less twice as faster as the original beta version on both the Benchmarks.
