What's your early Intel mac score on Speedometer?

[headlessmike]

Thanks, now I know! New to MacOS, so every day, etc...

Another trick is to use cmd + shift + 4, then when the crosshair appears you tap the space bar. This will enable capturing just a single application window without having to crop the screenshot manually. It even renders the drop shadows used in macOS to differentiate foreground and background windows.

Excellent, thanks!

Or you can just stick grab on your dock and use that if memorizing hotkey combos is not your thing. It does save screenshots as .tiff which is annoying but you can easily enough convert to jpg using the "save as" or "export" function (dependent on which version of macos youre running).

Mid-2011 iMac 12,1 2.7GHz Core i5-2500S on latest Opera and Ventura:-

And next, on Safari and Ventura:-

Not bad on such an old machine. Lots of RAM, though, does that help?

And a repeat of the last one, making certain I'd closed everything else down.

And some more practice using the different screenshot key sequences!

Oh - you screenshot show off!!
..and ya machine is faster than mine! LOL.

Back on High Sierra, with that OS's un-updated Safari.

And nice to see that the figure for Opera is exactly as it was on Ventura, consistency!

Best Ive got so far..

Just bettered that - same set up but with Vivaldi browser:

iMac 27" mid 2011 i7 3.4GHz 32GB, Monterey, Brave browser 1.59.117:

With High Sierra and the previous version of Brave the score was 117.

And here is an another: iMac 27" 2011 i5 2.7GHz 16GB, Sonoma, Brave browser 1.59.117:

Excellent, thanks!

Great tip!

The internet speed in Japan is generally good.

This isn't the fastest web browser on my 2006 17 inch iMac 5,1..but it has to be the smallest...so far. Been trying MX 23.1 (current) with Fluxbox with the Librewolf browser. The MX package installer stated it as a 209 kb install (thats kb..not MB..?) As Im running it from a 32 MB usb stick that storage space saving is rather important. (Got to wonder if that figure is right.)

Once Ive found my way around this new OS, I'll check that.

Here's my results with Sonoma and Safari 17 on my 2010 MacBook. Marginally slower than with Big Sur on the same machine. A surprising outcome given that Safari feels faster now than it did in Big Sur. But I guess that the test mainly covers GUI performance in web apps.

Rather slower using Sealion.

Comparison with non-Mac Asus S200E running current Firefox on Mint 21.2

Rather slower using Sealion.

This is the MBP 2011 i7?

Check out my first result in post 6. Its also MBP 2011 i7. Big Sur might have something minor to do with it but test the Brave browser and see what you get.

There's a problem with that...
Brave no longer supports High Sierra!

Additional fiddlings reveal that my phone (galaxy S21 5G) running Chrome will manage 130 and a 3rd generation iPad is taking a very long time to complete the test!

 

[DCBassman]

Same MBP, HS, Safari.

 

[DCBassman]

Ipad 3 using Chrome = 7.47



And using Safari = 6.70

So what? Works just fine. They just don't provide new updates unless you run 10.15. Same thing with Firefox, Chrome and most other modern browsers. Brave is still equal or more secure than most other browsers that run in HS. And you can soup up the security by adding extensions.
