May and June were good months for Firefox's Speedometer performance compared to Chrome. We're closing in while Chrome seems fairly static. In this visualization, lower in the graph is better. From https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60.
It seems like an odd choice to put bigger numbers lower down, when we generally associate them with up. Any idea why it's visualized that way?
I think it is so that on all graphs "lower" down is better. But agree it's kind of unusual layout. Looking at the graphs for Linux i wonder what happened in feb 11:th this year - where all values for Firefox got a lot worse.
Sometimes the hardware or software configurations of the machines running the tests changes, or a bug in the test harness itself is fixed, which can skew all of the results at once.
Stupid question, but which of the benchmarks corelates closest to video/stream playback? Since that was still the area I felt the biggest difference when I compared last, especially opening multiple videos and streams (on twitch and yt). I just wonder if it was my imagination or if there is still a difference.
Which platform are you on?
windows 10 (sorry for the long delay)
No worries, that's odd, usually you should get great video acceleration performance in Firefox Windows, so not sure what's happening here. Perhaps make sure your video drivers are up to date?
Im usually on the latest update. I have to actually probably do some benchmarks to see if there really is a difference. Can't trust my feeling
