Comparison of css3 & html5 (v 2.0) browsers

(I'm afraid of running into a condemnation of the meaninglessness of such comparisons and frequent repetitions, but still I will try ...)
Based on a recent comparison, I decided for myself to check all popular browsers and, if possible, hook on test versions. But it was precisely the reason for writing the post that served as a few strange moments revealed during testing (see below) and yesterday’s release of IE 10 .

To begin, I will describe the hardware and software, because This plays a role in performance tests.

Testing


I took the same set of tests as Bo_bda :
')

The main part of the comparison was carried out on the night of February 19-20. Just then, Firefox was updated to version 19 and Firefox nightly to version 22, and I tested all 4 versions. I made the second part of the comparison yesterday (February 26) in the evening, in connection with the release of IE 10.

The Maze Solver and Peacekeeper tests ran 2 times in a row without clearing the cache, restarting the browser, or refreshing the page.

Notes


  1. The CSS3 Selectors Test and Acid3 tests did not write to the table, because all browsers performed them at 100% (by points 41/41 574/574 and 100/100, respectively).
  2. Links to Peacekeeper test results: February 19–20 (all browsers except IE 10 release) and February 26 (IE 10 release only). UPD 2. Test Opera x64 from February 27th .
  3. Safari could not be tested, because version is already outdated. A new version under Windows will not be due to the fact that Apple stopped supporting Safari under Windows on July 26, 2012.


Observations


  1. When restarting the Maze Solver test, Chrome, IE, and Safari didn’t explore the maze again, but instead followed a well-known path. As a result, the passage time was about 3 times less than during the first passage. Where this behavior is and why it did not show up in Firefox and Opera is not clear.
  2. But the restart of Peacekeeper in my case did not give any gain, only a statistical error. Although Bo_bda compared Firefox and Chrome in his comparison almost doubled.
  3. Opera's strange behavior is also noticed when you restart Peacekeeper. It increases HTML5 Capabilities from 2/7 to 4/7.
  4. I was very pleased with Firefox with my upgrade from the 18th to the 19th version. The Maze Solver maze speed increased 9 (!!!) times (for this test, the 19th version even overtook Firefox nightly 21) and the number of parrots in Peacekeeper increased by 15%. And by the way, this is not just synthetics ... The speed increase is noticeable at least in browser games.
  5. But Firefox nightly 22 slowed down in the Maze Solver test by 2 times and got 12% of the parrots in Peacekeeper relative to the 21st version, which is very strange.
  6. And the last. IE 10 release showed absolutely the same results for all tests as IE 10 Pre-Release, only in the test Peacekeeper produced about 4% more parrots.
  7. IE 9 x64 in Peacekeeper test showed a result 35% worse than IE 9.
  8. Opera x64 in the Peacekeeper test showed a 3.5% better result than Opera x32.


P.S. Opera test version older than version 12.14 in their blog did not find. Opera 12.14 is the last public release, so in the test it is one.

UPD . Added the 7th item in the observation.
UPD 2 . Added Opera 12.14 x64 test.
