Happy new year everybody. Somehow i missed the first meeting. For the next one could we do a live benchmark of web browsers available on linux?

Theres a couple of things to consider such as:

how quickly new browser versions are available - security updates

accuracy of rendering - i have found Midori feels fast but does not display some web pages the same as others��

Theres also flash and HTML5 we could look into. A few years ago (around 2010/2011) I made a simple HTML5 canvas with some animations that looked like a space invaders game, from memory, on debian i had the following results:

IE, can't remember version, got around 20 fps

chrome scored 120 something fps

firefox received around 12 fps

I dont know what benchmarks are available for us to use but it would be interesting, it would also be interesting to look at comparing browsers on fedora and ubuntu

Kind Regards
