Oh, and Microsoft: We found that your new Edge browser isn’t quite as fast as you make it out to be. That’s fine-we tested with and without Flash, so you’ll have a sense for which browser performs best, in either case. Still, other readers pointed out that they simply need to run Flash on their favorite sites. Disabling or refusing to load Flash can seriously improve performance-some sites, like YouTube, have begun to transition to less CPU-intensive HTML5 streams. You’ve already seen part of our tests, where we showed you how much of an impact enabling Adobe Flash can have on your system.
TOP 10 BEST INTERNET BROWSERS 2015 INSTALL
And we also tried to look at each browser holistically: How easy was each to install and set up? Does Opera make it simple to switch from Chrome, for example?įor 2015, we have a newcomer: Microsoft’s Edge browser, which has been integrated into Windows 10.
We used the latest available version of each browser, except for Firefox, which upgraded to Firefox 40 late in our testing. To pick a winner, we put Google Chrome, Microsoft’s Edge and Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera to the test, barring Apple’s abandoned Safari for Windows. Can they handle dozens of tabs at once? Or do they shudder, struggle, and crash, chewing through your PC’s processor and memory? Just as you expect us to test graphics cards against the latest games, we think your browsers should be tested against a collection of live sites. Look, throwing a few benchmarks at a browser just doesn’t cut it any more. They’re easy to set up, flexible and extensible, and connect other devices and services into an ecosystem. The best browsers go beyond benchmarks, racing through real-world webpages as well as canned routines.
