Sorry for OT
Do you feel it's worth it (in the context of CPU reviews) to try to build some kind of test for "browser multitasking", like open 100 tabs, load html, wait for render to complete? Haven't really noticed any slowdowns in web browsing (as long as the sites are using somewhat well-behaving JS)
This is my hardware and software:
Hardware: Intel i3-3240 + 4GB RAM @1600MHZ single channel + NVIDIA GTX 650 1GB + EVO 850 500GB
Software: FreeBSD + Chromium
When I open around 110 tabs with different types of standard websites my CPU keeps fluctuating between 1-4% usage according to 'top'. Every few seconds the CPU spikes to a maximum of 14% CPU usage and after this super short spike it goes right back to +- 2% CPU usage. I can open about 150 tabs from the wallhaven site before it becomes unstable, and that's because I'm out of RAM.. Loading of websites is also relatively fast, even with the heavier websites. I can't speak for windows but Linux and BSD systems aren't going to have any problems with
multitasking/many tabs/load html/rendering unless they have other apps open that take a lot of CPU. But for just browsing you're not going to have any problems on modern CPUs even if you use heavier websites.
I can confirm this on FireFox. I'm currently on the 91.xESR and just finished a run. It runs well and completes without issue(got a score of 94, is that good?!?).
Which CPU do you use?
You should always look at your result in perspective of your hardware. I get a result of
112 in FreeBSD in Firefox on the i3-3240. In Clear Linux I get a result of
111 in the same browser on the same hardware.
I also have a Thinkcentre-M75 with Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G and it gets
130 on windows11 with Edge. On the same hardware but with Clear Linux and with Firefox it gets
135.
Those are my results for WebXPRT 4, the older version (WebXPRT 3) gives higher results.
