Even running something like Internet Explorer or Edge through on a virtual machine on the Mac doesn't feel all that bad to be honest. Moving from the artificial world of benchmarks into the real world, I have to be honest and say I can't feel much of a speed difference no matter which browser I use. If you want the browser displaying the best standards compliance, then go with Chrome since it also claimed first place in the HTML5 test. If you want the fastest browser then the browser you should be using on your Mac is Google Chrome. In previous years when I did these benchmark tests I've included the raw results, but I got a lot of feedback from readers asking for something easier on the eye, so this time I'll present the data in terms of the browser rankings for each of the tests.įor those of you keeping score, here is the tally of wins for each browser across the five benchmark tests:

These tests were run multiple times to ensure consistency. The maximum score is 550, and a higher score is better.
