Browser benchmark battle January 2020: Chrome vs. Firefox vs. Edge vs. Brave

Octane

Octane is a JavaScript benchmark developed by Google. We ran the latest version, 2.0. This is also a retired test.

For this benchmark, a higher number is better.

Chrome set the bar high:

Firefox couldn’t match it:

Edge did better than Firefox but couldn’t beat Chrome:

Brave did only slightly worse than Chrome:

Given that Octane was developed by Google, maybe it’s not surprising that Chrome won this test. But it’s also the only test Chrome won this time around.
