Internet Explorer 10 Is the Fastest Browser, Better Than Chrome 20 and Firefox 13 (I have Firefox 15.0.2.0) old test ?
Internet Explorer 10 is only available in Windows 8
Website performance analysis company Strangeloop recently performed a new test with the most popular browsers on the Internet, revealing that Internet Explorer 10 is the fastest app of its kind at this moment.
No less than 2,000 retail websites have been included in the test, based on their ranking on Alexa.com. Strangeloop used WebPagetest to measure page loading times of Google Chrome 20, Firefox 13 and Internet Explorer versions 7 to 10.
The results are a bit surprising, as IE10 was named the fastest browser on the Internet because it loads pages 8 percent quicker than Google Chrome 20. IE10 was also faster than Firefox 13, according to the long report released by Strangeloop.
The average page loading time for Internet Explorer 10 is 6.392 seconds, while Firefox comes second with 6.395 seconds. Google Chrome 20 is “the slowest” of the three, with an average time of 6.906 seconds.
What's more, Strangeloop says that websites are loading 9 percent slower than in 2011, despite the clear evolution of today's web browsers. This happens because pages feature much more complex content, including large and HD media files.
The only problem, however, with Internet Explorer 10 is that it is available only for Windows 8 users
