This benchmark simulates user actions for adding, completing, and removing to-do items using multiple examples in TodoMVC. Each example in TodoMVC implements the same todo application using DOM APIs in different ways. Some call DOM APIs directly from ECMAScript 5 (ES5), ECMASCript 2015 (ES6), ES6 transpiled to ES5, and Elm transpiled to ES5. Others use one of eleven popular JavaScript frameworks: React, React with Redux, Ember.js, Backbone.js, AngularJS, (new) Angular, Vue.js, jQuery, Preact, Inferno, and Flight. Many of these frameworks are used on the most popular websites in the world, such as Facebook and Twitter. The performance of these types of operations depends on the speed of the DOM APIs, the JavaScript engine, CSS style resolution, layout, and other technologies.

Images aren't necessary, but please state your cpu speed. The web browser of your choice. Mine is Edge 83. Thank you.

The easiest way to solve this problem is to hash the resource being cached and compare the hash value to that of another resource with same name and different URL and if it matches, just point to the original resource instead of storing duplicates. I don't know how privacy would be compromised by storing most reused web components in this manner.

If I want to tell whether you've visited Anandtech, I can use a resource that only Anandtech loads (like the logo) and have my page load it. Based on whether that load takes a noticeable amount of time or not I tell whether that resource is cached, and by that know that you've visited the page.

There's a reason why the VERY OBVIOUS method of reference counting is something all browsers have moved away from, and it isn't because you're smarter than everyone writing browsers.
 
I got 13.1 once on v3.1, in LibreWolf on an 8400F with RTX 4070. But most runs error out with "One or more subtests produced no duration."
 
On second thought, I tried v2.0.

Oh, no! Now my LibreWolf is going to mutate into some kind of giant catfish-amphibian! 😛 (Edit: link for the blissfully unaware)

I clicked for details:

So I guess the score should actually be around 240, but maybe LibreWolf's security features confused it?

the cpu is a humble Brisbane G1, it's kind of the last breath of k8 as a budget chip in 2007, I got it new back then and had it in the box for the past 10+ years, decided to source a second hand board and have some fun with it again (it's on XP for old games)
most of those were revision G2, I think mine clocks worse, but I really am not trying to OC with overvolt, just going as far as I can with stock volt/cooler basically running as a 4800+

I did run again the 3.1 benchmark, but disabled power saving and enabled the flag to override software rendering list or whatever in the browser and it scored 3.19!

it's funny using a modern browser in win xp, it's surprisingly usable, and feels nicer to browse than the score would suggest tbh.
definitely the system feels a lot snappier than trying to browse on win10 x64 which I also tried (and I'm comparing win 10 with an ssd and xp with an old 80gb sata drive)

The main reason I have moved away from XP is the lack of browser updates resulting in modern websites not rendering properly. The available Mozilla browsers, although contsantly updated, are based on older rendering engines so many websites don't work properly or at all. Chrome hasn't been...

Version 75 of that browser is the last one that works in XP, I think.

Seems I would need to compile a version that doesn't require SSE2.
 
I find my browser speed really depends on motherboard architecture with how many data buses are in your motherboard as well as your CPU. Internet speed is important too. If you have at least 800MPS or greater, that pretty max.
