Firefox JavaScript engine is faster than Chrome's V8

One of the most impressive features in Google's open source Chrome web browser is V8, a high-performance JavaScript virtual machine that was developed by a team of specialists in Denmark. Although Chrome's performance beats the current stable version of Firefox, benchmarks show that Mozilla's next-generation JavaScript engine actually outperforms V8.

Mozilla is using tracing optimization techniques and Adobe's open source nanojit to increase the execution speed of SpiderMonkey, the JavaScript runtime engine in the Firefox web browser. The new engine, which is called TraceMonkey, delivers unprecedented JavaScript performance. The new optimizations have already landed in the latest Firefox nightly builds (but still have to be manually enabled) and will be included in Firefox 3.1.

Software Review: Google Chrome 0.2.149.27

So many people, so many blogs, so many opinions about http://www.google.com/chrome I have to try it myself cause they all got me confused. So here is my review to get all of you more confused :) !!!


1. It "IS" very fast. I don't have any tools to count chrome with mozilla to actually give you numbers but it is super fast.

2. It is very light as an application. Extremely light to be more exact. Then again so was my firefox when i ferst installed it before i add ... a few ... add-ons :)

3. It is open source so expect full support from the open source fun base. I expect a fun base somewhere like firefox add-ons fanbase in size if not bigger.

4. I did a test at a site that "ALWAYS" crashed my FireFox AND IE7 (didn't try IE8) when i tryed it. And guess what? It ALSO crashed GC. BUT not the full browser and the 4 tabs i had open to test it. It only crashed and closed that spesific tab. Now that was something i REALLY liked.

5. Well i only tested it GC for 30 mins so i can't say much more but I will use it for my default browser for a few days so i can check and report back again.

Hope this helped you. l8r.
