Every so often I think about changing the browser that I routinely use. For the last five years or so I've been using Camino, first on my PowerBook, and now on my MacBook.
Today I decided to try the sunspider-0.9.1 Javascript benchmark on a variety of browsers that I have to hand, and here are the results:
Camino 2.0.6 3085.3ms
Chrome 10.0.648.134 319.0ms
Firefox 3.6.15 1014.6ms
Firefox 4.0 313.8ms
Opera 11.01 347.9ms
Safari 5.0.4 333.7ms
So it seems I am currently using the browser with the slowest Javascript performance (by a factor of almost 10x), and although I've become very used to Camino, maybe it's time to consider a switch (again).
Update 2011-03-22: Added in Firefox 4.0 (which is the current leader, and means that all the alternatives are about 10x faster than Camino in this test).
