May and June were good months for Firefox’s Speedometer performance compared to Chrome. We’re closing in while Chrome seems fairly static. In this visualization, lower in the graph is better. From https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60.
Why is chromium so bad compared to chrome? Is Google holding out on merging optimizations upstream?
Would like to see brave on this chart
It helps when the browser isn’t bloated up with features that nobody wants
It seems like an odd choice to put bigger numbers lower down, when we generally associate them with up. Any idea why it’s visualized that way?
Could be a score about time. Small numbers = faster = better = up.
I think it is so that on all graphs “lower” down is better. But agree it’s kind of unusual layout. Looking at the graphs for Linux i wonder what happened in feb 11:th this year - where all values for Firefox got a lot worse.
Sometimes the hardware or software configurations of the machines running the tests changes, or a bug in the test harness itself is fixed, which can skew all of the results at once.
