- 8 Best Fastest Browsers for Windows 10, 8, 7 in

 

The most important program on your PC is your web browser. Oh sure, your bread and butter work may be on QuickBooks, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro, but where do you find information or exchange emails?

Answer: Your web browser. Heck, Google has proven that all you really need to do most work is the Chrome web browser on a Chromebook. And, what do you need to get the most from your web browser?

Speed, speed, and still more speed. Web browser developers know this, so lately there's been a lot of effort behind making them ever faster.

So, who's the fastest now? I put the most popular Windows 10 browsers to the test. Here are our contenders in order of popularity. First comes Google Chrome It's easily the most popular web browser. Next up is Microsoft Edge 93 , which recently switched to using Google's open-source Chromium web browser. Today, except for Mozilla Firefox , all the web browsers that matter, such as Opera, Vivaldi and Brave, run on top of Chrome's open-source base Chromium.

Firefox, while declining in popularity, is the third-most popular Windows web browser. Believe it or not, Internet Explorer IE 11 is still hanging in there, coming in as the next-most popular Windows 10 web browser. However, even on my browser benchmarks , it was just awful. I took a quick look at it, and I decided that between Microsoft getting ready to retire it and its dreadful performance, I wouldn't waste time benchmarking it. If you're still using IE, just stop already.

You'll be better with anything else. Firefox was followed by Opera This was originally a Norwegian-based browser, but it was acquired by a Chinese private-equity company in Next is Brave 1. This open-source browser's owners claim to do the best job of protecting your privacy. Still, in they admitted to sharing default autocomplete answers with an affiliate cryptocurrency exchange.

Finally, there's Vivaldi 4. This was started by Opera expatriates, who missed the original Opera's community and look-and-feel. Although all of these browsers, except Firefox, are clone brothers, they do not have the same performance. Each vendor has changed the Chromium code to make them quite different from each other. With everything ready and the PC cleaned up of all non-essential software, it was time for testing.

First up was JetSteam 2. This JavaScript and WebAssembly benchmark suite focuses on advanced web applications. It rewards browsers that start up quickly, execute code quickly and run smoothly. Higher scores are better on this benchmark.

Chrome won this competition easily with a score of Opera, somewhat to my surprise, came in second with Behind it was Edge with Next was Vivaldi with The real surprise, though, was Firefox with a dismal Speedometer is a newish web browser benchmark. To do this, it uses demo web applications to simulate user actions such as adding to-do items.

Once more, higher scores are better on this test. Most people use Google Chrome as their default browser. But privacy is another matter for the online ad giant. Once more, Chrome comes out comfortably on top with a score of Only Edge came relatively close to Chrome by scoring Dropping way back, Chrome and Edge were followed by Opera at Then, there's another considerable dropoff in performance to Vivaldi at Next up: Kraken 1.

This benchmark, which is based on the long-obsolete SunSpider, measures JavaScript performance. To this basic JavaScript testing, it added typical use-case scenarios. Mozilla, Firefox's parent organization, created Kraken. With this benchmark, the lower the score in milliseconds ms , the better the result. You would think that Firefox should ace this benchmark. It doesn't. Chrome took first place here with Opera came in a distant second with Behind it came Edge at Then, and only then, does Firefox make a last-place appearance with a pathetic ms.

Octane 2. Octane is not Chrome-specific. For example, it tests how fast Microsoft's TypeScript compiles itself. In this benchmark, the higher the score, the better. On this Google benchmark, Chrome took the blue ribbon with a score of 39, Behind it there's a pile-up for second place with Opera at 37,, Vivaldi at 36,, Brave with 37, and Edge with 37, Way, way back in last place, you'll find Firefox with 20, It's produced by the benchmark professionals at Principled Technology This company's senior staff were the founders of the Ziff Davis Benchmark Operation, the gold standard of PC benchmarking.

WebXPRT uses scenarios created to mirror everyday tasks. Here, the higher the score, the better the browser. On this benchmark, Firefox shines. It was an easy winner with a score of Chrome took second place with Then, there's a pile-up from third through fifth place: Edge and Opera are in a dead tie for third with They're followed by Vivaldi at and Brave at You'd think by , every browser would comply with the HTML 5 web standard , which became a standard in You'd be wrong.

This "test" isn't a benchmark. It just shows how close each browser comes to being in sync with the HTML 5 standard. A perfect score, which none got, would have been Opera, with , scored just below the quartet. In last place was Firefox with So, which is really the fastest? It used to be a real mixed bag in my earlier browser tests, but these days Google Chrome has a solid lead over everyone else.

The one exception was Firefox, which usually scored dead last, but did manage to snag a surprise win on the WebXPRT benchmark.

I have other problems with Firefox, including both its management and its developers' indifference to what Firefox users want from the browser. So for me, it's an easy choice. The best, and largely the fastest, web browser is Chrome. If privacy is your top priority, however, keep looking. Lately, web browser makers have been working hard to improve their performance.
