Brave, Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Edge: Which is Better and Faster?

You probably take your web browser for granted, but you have real options: Performance, feature sets, and privacy tools vary wildly among internet-surfing apps.

Popular news sites finish loading up to 3x faster in Brave.

This video shows actual, unedited screen recordings of popular news sites loading in Brave, Firefox and Chrome. Each test was done on fresh browser installs with all cache cleared between tests.

Screens were time-synced based on the enter button press, and stopped when loading indicators report that page load is complete.

Speed: Brave Browser

Brave is the safest, fastest web browser ever created - for Mac, Windows, Android, iOS and Linux. Brave blocks ads and trackers, out of the box. Nothing else to install or configure

Privacy: Brave Browser

Brave blocks ads by default (unlike Chrome, which requires a 3rd-party extension such as AdBlock).
Brave blocks 3rd-party tracking by default.
On Chrome, mega-advertisers like Google and Facebook use 3rd-party cookies to track your browsing on nearly every website.
By blocking 3rd-party cookies, Brave limits the amount of data Facebook, Google, and other ad networks can collect about your browsing habits.
Brave stores all your browsing data locally on your computer, which means you can delete it at any time.
Brave supports Tor browsing, making it the first all-purpose browser to do so.

Brave and edge chromium wins two rounds by narrow margins. Surprise surprise is google chrome which lags a lot when compared to other browsers. As a long term user of google chrome its hard to believe that it is slower than the rest. Probably deleting history and cache had taken a toll on chrome browser’s speed.

Finally it all comes to personal preference. Personally I have started using Brave!

Coming through with Firefox 82 – Mozilla Hacks

As October ushers in the tail-end of the year, we are pushing Firefox 82 out the door. This time around we finally enable support for the Media Session API, provide some new CSS pseudo-selector behaviours, close some security loopholes involving the Window.name property, and provide inspection for server-sent events in our developer tools.

This blog post provides merely a set of highlights; for all the details, check out the following:

• Firefox 82 for developers on MDN
• Firefox 82 end-user release notes

Inspecting server-sent events

Server-sent events allow for an inversion of the traditional client-initiated web request model, with a server sending new data to a web page at any time by pushing messages. In this release we’ve added the ability to inspect server-sent events and their message contents using the Network Monitor.

You can go to the Network Monitor, select the file that is sending the server-sent events, and view the received messages in the Response tab on the right-hand panel.

For more information, check out our Inspecting server-sent events guide.

Web platform updates

Now let’s look at the web platform additions we’ve got in store in 82.

Media Session API

The Media Session API enables two main sets of functionality:

1. First of all, it provides a way to customize media notifications. It does this by providing metadata for display by the operating system for the media your web app is playing.
2. Second, it provides event handlers that the browser can use to access platform media keys such as hardware keys found on keyboards, headsets, remote controls, and software keys found in notification areas and on lock screens of mobile devices. So you can seamlessly control web-provided media via your device, even when not looking at the web page.

Test On Firefox 78, Chrome 84, Opera 69, Edge 84, Beta Browsers

Being a cross browser testing cloud, we are always looking out for the release of new browser versions and adding them to our platform so you could ensure cross browser compatibility of your website. This week we have expanded our browser collection by adding the latest stable & beta versions of multiple browsers to our real time testing.

You can now perform cross browser testing over:

• Google Chrome 84 and 85 Beta
• Mozilla Firefox 78 and 79 Beta
• Opera 69 and 70 Beta
• Edge 84
• An Enhanced LT Browser

These browser versions can be found in our real time testing.

Test On Google Chrome 84 & 85 Beta

Google Chrome 84 released on July 14, 2020 and has a version 8.4 of the V8 JavaScript engine. You can find the list of changes from th V8 blog. I am going to point out some of the exciting features that might concern your cross browser compatibility.

What’s New In Google Chrome 84?

Google Chrome 84 has introduced “App Icon Shortcuts” using which users will be able to perform basic actions of an application by right clicking on the icon from desktop or long pressing the icon from an Android.

You can easily incorporate App Icon Shortcuts in your PWA by invoking a shortcuts property.

Web Animations API support just got better in Google Chrome 84.

You can now leverage animation.ready & animation.finished with the latest Chrome 84. The Chrome 84 also promises better performance as the browser can now perform cleanup and remove old animations to save up the memory. For more information, read this article on Web Animations API improvements in Chrome 84.

Deprecations and Removals In Chrome 84 – @import rules if incorporated within the replace() call will now throw an exception. Also, TLS 1.0 & TLS 1.1 has been deprecated in Chrome 84.

You can find all the deprecations & removal in the ChromeStatus.com.

Firefox 81 Release Kills High-Severity Code-Execution Bugs

Mozilla patched high-severity vulnerabilities with the release of Firefox 81 and Firefox ESR 78.3, including several that could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Two severe bugs (CVE-2020-15674 and CVE-2020-15673) are errors in the browser’s memory-safety protections, which prevent memory access issues like buffer overflows. CVE-2020-15674 was reported in Firefox 80, while CVE-2020-15673 was reported in Firefox 80 and Firefox ESR 78.2. Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) is a Firefox version that’s based on an official release for desktop, for use by organizations who need extended support for mass deployments.

“Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption, and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code,” according to a Mozilla Foundation security advisory, released on Tuesday.
