Safari Best Contender in HTML5 Performance Test

It’s a safe bet Firefox won’t be getting any awards soon (Mozilla needs to pick up their game), which leaves Google Chrome and Safari to duke it out for a good ol’ fashioned HTML5 performance test. The race was close, but Apple’s Safari 5 now leads over Google Chrome 5. But just barely.

9 to 5 Mac notes,

”[…] Safari scores a total of 208 points and 7 bonus points.

Given that both Safari and Google Chrome use the Webkit engine, it isn’t any great surprise that Chrome is the current runner-up with 197 points and 7 bonus points.”

If you want to check the results for yourself, HTML5 Test is where all the benchmark geeks hang out these days.
