I have assumed that I should be performing these tests with Internet Explorer. I've heard that China tends to use mostly Microsoft products, but I thought before I go that I'd do a speed test while still in Utah so I have a comparison. I don't use I.E. very often, so I decided to run my own browser comparison to see what is the best browser for the Westminster IT system.
The browsers I've used to compare are:
- Internet Explorer 8.0.6
- Firefox 3.5.3
- Google Chrome 3.0.1
- Safari 4.0.3
The complete results can be seen on this Google Doc: Division of New Learning Browser Test.
There were 27 sites that got tested. Here is a table which shows the total number of sites where each browser was best and worse.
Browser | Best | Worst |
Internet Explorer | 3 | 17 |
Firefox | 9 | 3 |
Chrome | 7 | 2 |
Safari | 8 | 5 |
I find it interesting that IE is the most popular browser in the world, but from what I've seen it has the worst performance.
