Mozilla Firefox is the only modern alternative to Google Chrome and third-party browsers based on the Chromium engine, but it’s still lacking something in the performance department. Chrome was created to speed up web development, and it arguably provides the fastest experience overall. But Mozilla’s software has recently made strides – in one specific benchmark, at least.
A recent release of Firefox Nightly, which came out last week, has managed to outperform Chrome in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, as announced by Mozilla developers. According to the Firefox Performance Dashboard (FPD) website, Firefox began to outpace Chrome in the SunSpider benchmark at the end of June. This new performance metric appears to hold its validity up to the present day.
