Download Google Chrome 10.0.648.133: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html?hl=en

Download Mozilla Firefox 4 Release Candidate: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC/

Download Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421: http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/

Download Opera 11.01: http://www.opera.com/browser/

Download Apple Safari 5.0.4: http://www.apple.com/safari/

In this video I compare Chrome 10 vs Firefox 4 vs Internet Explorer 9 vs Opera 11 vs Safari 5 to see which is fastest at Javascript, general web browsing, HTML5 compliance and GPU hardware acceleration. Each browser has their own pros and cons as well as special features however here I just look at the raw benchmarks to determine the winner.

The benchmarks I use are the JSBenchmark, V8 Benchmark Version 6, Sunspider 0.9.1, Peacekeeper, IE9 Flying Images and the HTML5 Test. Each is run multiple times on the same Windows 7 computer to ensure a fair fight.

Danny Hillis: Understanding cancer through proteomics
