I was going through my Bookmarks to see if anything was worth keeping and found an old imported bookmarks folder from 2008, when I'd saved a Sunspider 0.9 run for Safari 3.1.
So of course I had to run my current MBP (14" M1 Pro, 16GB RAM) to compare. I'm not sure what I originally tested this on. It might have been an original 2006 Intel Core Duo iMac.
All caveats regarding such benchmarks apply, but it's an interesting comparison. At the time I was in the middle of writing a Javascript app for work, that was usable in Safari and Firefox but unusable in Internet Explorer.
2008 Test - Today's test
Edit: FireFox 3 test from around same time
