In an effort to take a more visual look at the latest browser war, we’ve created a simple infographic to break down the most recent score in Security, Speed & Compatibility, Features, and Help & Support for each of the most popular browsers.
According to the performance testing that was done by toptenreviews.com Firefox and Chrome aren’t so far apart. It’s interesting to note that while most of the browsers scored between 8-10 on every test, Internet Explorer still performed lowest of all in the Speed & Compatibility category. This one factor is one of the main reasons why users switch from using IE to something with a little more oomph.
While it seems that Firefox is a fan favorite with many, I am personally more partial to Google Chrome since it integrates so well with Google Analytics and other marketing widgets that I use on a daily basis. When you get right down to it, numbers don’t mean much when it comes to the browser wars.
There are still die-hard fans of Internet Explorer that will never waver no matter how many low test scores you throw at them and the same can be said for every other popular browser. In the end, it all comes down to what works best for your lifestyle and your workflow, but if you’re looking to try out a new browser, knowing the best scores and features available for each one is a great place to start.
