Mozilla Firefox 4.0 JägerMonkey VS Google Chrome 8.0 V8
I decided to test the new version of Mozilla Firefox 4.0. After a few of my usual tests I decided to create a video comparing Firefox and Chrome side by side. With the new Firefox comes a new javascript engine, JägerMonkey. This is what motivated me to test its performance VS Google’s Javascript engine, V8. V8 converts javascript directly into machine code, which is one of the reasons why it is so fast. It also has a pretty powerful garbage collection system that is uses to handle memory allocation. I haven’t done much research on JägerMonkey yet, and i don’t plan on it. V8 smoked JägerMonkey out of the ballpark.
Firefox: 4.0b7 (JägerMonkey)
VS
Google Chrome: 8.0.552.224 (V8 2.4.9.14)
