What is the fastest browser - September 2020 edition

Posted on Friday, September 11 2020 @ 12:19 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Over the past couple of years, a lot has changed in the browser market. So what's the fastest browser you can install on your PC in September 2020? AnandTech did the test and compared seven browsers, you can check it out over here. The conclusion is a bit anti-climactic though, the site found that all modern browsers perform very similar. Chromium-based browsers score better on battery life tests than Firefox, but overall the difference isn't really big enough to persuade someone to switch to a different browser.
It may seem a bit anti-climactic to say that all the browsers tested performed well, but that was the case. Choosing a browser based purely on performance is not necessary at the moment, as no single browser easily out-muscles its competitors. One of the big questions was in regards to Microsoft’s move from EdgeHTML to Blink, but it is definitely a win in terms of browser compatibility, and even if it did result in a net-loss of power savings, having a power efficient browser you can not use on your favorite website helps no one.
