▲ Apple Jet Stream test situation (the higher the score, the higher the score Good)

The scope of this test is four 64-bit browsers, Microsoft Edge for Windows10, IE11, Google Chrome Canary 44.0.2398.0, and Firefox Alpha 40.0a1. In addition to IE11, all three other browsers are beta. From the results of the scoring results, the four browsers have little difference between the two benchmarks, Edge browser has obvious advantages, Chrome and Firefox are behind, and “older” IE browser latest version has a significant disadvantage The bottom of the ranking.

Windows applications written in HTML/CSS/JS by Microsoft Edge and Win10 are powered by the Chakra JavaScript engine. From the performance of the Chakra JavaScript engine alone, Microsoft does need to replace IE11, and the successor Edge browser is indeed a big task
