A content analyst conducted a very interesting experiment in our office:
She compared the ‘loading’ rate of some of our random games across browsers using the same connection, pc and same time zone.
Her results are below:
Game
|
Chrome Loading Speed
|
Firefox
|
IE
|
|
1 min, 20 sec, 71 milli sec
|
33 sec, 48 milli sec
|
50 sec, 94 milli sec
|
|
43 sec, 51 milli sec
|
1 min, 32 sec, 61 milli sec
|
44 sec, 17 milli sec
|
|
39 sec, 90 milli sec
|
56 sec, 41 milli sec
|
1 min, 04 sec, 42 milli sec
|
|
57 sec, 43 milli sec
|
1 min, 04 sec, 02 milli sec
|
1 min, 00 sec, 50 milli sec

Interestingly, IE does better than Firefox…!
Of course, Chrome ‘speeds’ ahead of them all – but that’s hardly a surprise.
I have another unique observation – the old, lost forgotten and ship wrecked SAFARI has all of a sudden made a big reappearance on the BROWSER side (of Mac owners)…and do you know why??
Its because kids and tweens are using it as the DEFAULT browser on iPhone/iTouch and iPad and then when they use the Mac – that’s what they intuitively fire up!!
What’s your experience with browsers??
