Google are the latest company to contribute a browser benchmark to the market. Probably optimised for Google Chrome this browser benchmark uses a JavaScript benchmark suite to put browsers through their paces.
Octane is a browser benchmark that measures performance when running the “complex and demanding web applications that users interact with daily”.
Most of the existing JavaScript benchmarks run artificial tests that were created on an ad-hoc basis to stress a specific JavaScript feature. Octane breaks with this tradition and extends the former V8 Benchmark Suite with 5 new benchmarks created from full, unaltered, well-known web applications and libraries. A high score in the new benchmarks directly translates to better and smoother performance in similar web applications.
You can try out Octane yourself, browse the source code, or read more about each benchmark at the Octane site. Still have some questions? Have a look at the FAQ page.
