With Internet Explorer 9 being acclaimed as the fastest ever browser client from Microsoft, DaniWeb decided to put it to the test against Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari and see just how quick it really is in a real world test of web browsing speed. You can read our review…
Not according to the Peacekeeper FAQ, I quote:
What does it test?
Peacekeeper measures your browser's performance by testing its JavaScript functionality. JavaScript is a widely used programming language used in the creation of modern websites to provide features such as animation, navigation, forms and other common requirements. By measuring a browser’s ability to handle commonly used JavaScript functions Peacekeeper can evaluate its performance.

absolutely right happygeek. like i said i really liked the real-world style approach you took with the review, just suggested peacekeeper to those who were interested in benching theirs. btw, my chrome browser at the office scored 8041.
Peacekeeper is certainly one of the better browser benches, that's for sure Eyal, if you are into that sort of thing. ;)

Nice test happygeek. Pity people don't realize that different connection will give different results as it is not the speed of the computer that matters but the quality of the signal received. I use Opera 11 and am quite happy with it as it works well with 3G connections.

Thats what I liked about their test it was simple with identical hardware and tests and, as you stated Kieran Y5, although not perfect, was a good enough comparison. Problem is you get people who believe what ever they use is the best. RE- the post before yours.
