JavaScript: Faster JavaScript execution time means the browser is more responsive to user actions and commands. To test the JavaScript execution speed the sun-spider has been used. CUP Usage: Browser uses system recourses like CPU to it performance, when a browser uses more CPU it not a very good to use because it makes your system slow. In here the windows resource monitor was used to measure the CPU usage percentage a browser use and Sun-spider was used to simulate purpose DOM Selection Speed: When a browser can select elements in a web page its more reactive asynchronous page updates. For measure the j-Query selection elements Slick-Speed was used. CSS Rendering Speed: When a browser with fast CSS execution speed means it can response to page very fast. To measure the load duration the duranontroppo.org CSS rendering benchmark was used.

Page Load Time To measure the time take to load a web page the Numion Stopwatch was used, the web site used for this was yahoo.com. Sometime the time may be depended on the server trafic time or your internet connection speed. Browser Cache Performance Cashes were measured to see how well the web browser perform when you have visited a website already. For this purpose also yahoo.com has been used with it cache.
