Browser Test: Chrome 12 vs Firefox 5 vs Internet Explorer 9 vs Opera 11.50 vs Safari 5

In this video I compare Chrome 12 vs Firefox 5 vs Internet Explorer 9 vs Opera 11.50 vs Safari 5 to see which is fastest at Javascript, general web browsing, HTML5 compliance, memory usage and GPU hardware acceleration. Each browser has their own pros and cons as well as special features however here I just look at the raw benchmarks to determine the winner.

The benchmarks I use are the V8 Benchmark Version 6, Peacekeeper, how much memory each browser takes up as measured from Task Manager, HTML5 Fishbowl and the HTML5 Test. Each is run multiple times on the same Windows 7 computer to ensure a fair fight.
