What’s the fastest browser? As with all things on the Internet, misinformation abounds. There’s only one sure way of testing how fast a browser is — that is by testing it and putting it through its paces.
And there exists a site that lets you put your favorite browser through its paces. Do you have ten to fifteen minutes to spare? Do you have more than one browser installed? If so then test your favorite browser against another browser. At the end of the test you might be surprised. If your default browser is slower than your secondary browser — maybe it’s time to stop clinging to what you’re used to and go for the best and fastest possible Web experience. I’m just sayin’.
The sight is called Peacekeeper ( http://peacekeeper.futuremark.com/ ) and it was created specifically to test your browser’s speed. Facts are facts. This site gives you just the facts, ma’am (or sir). They also offer a battery tester – in case you want to test your laptop, phone or table battery. We didn’t do the battery test, so you’re on your own.
Here’s what the people of Peacemaker have to say. They can explain what they do and why they do it better than I can (yes you can laugh now):
“Which is the fastest browser? Which is the best browser for you? Find out with Peacekeeper, the free universal browser test from Futuremark.

I tested three of my four browsers (yes I’m crazy – I have IE10, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera). The proof is in the pudding. Chrome is fastest – at least on my PC.
So maybe it’s time you tested your favorite browser against another browser.
This test works for PCs, Laptops, Smart Phones and Tablets
I faithfully follow your newsletter and truly believe in your and the products your recommend. But, today I do have one complaint and that is at the bottom of your article on “How fast is your favorite browser”. Listed at the bottom of the page in big bold letters is “DOWNLOAD”. What I ended up with was the Download Manager and a bunch of crap I didn’t want, not realizing that was for the advertising! Lots of hassle in removing all of that, along with running the registry cleaner,etc. Still haven’t used the “Peacekeeper”
To Jean,
