Which Mobile Browser is Faster on iOS? -
We all love Safari for iOS, but that doesn’t mean we can’t check out the competition from time to time. There are a fair number of options available in the App Store--many for free and most for less than a buck--all promising performance to rival Apple’s bundled browser.
We’ve tested them all (well, a few of them, anyway) and have whittled down our list to the top three Safari competitors. Our testing was somewhat scientific: Using an iPhone 4 running OS 5.01, we ran each browser through BrowserMark (JavaScript and HTML rendering) and DSLReport’s Speed Test (latency) for benchmarking purposes, and then timed each while loading the content-intensive New York Times desktop site and playing an HTML5 demo video on sublimevideo.net using both 3G and Wi-Fi connections. Whew!
