I think I just found the worst graph

So many things wrong
 
I suspect the (ms) units should be on the y-axis and that Kraken and Octane are two different modes or testing units? Something tells me this should be a bar chart and not a line graph lol

At first I was totally confused but yeah, I think you're right about the bar chart. It seems they're two different modes or measuring systems, where in Kraken low scores are good and in Octane high are good.
 
Each point is where they scored on the two tests. The line simply helps correlate the difference (slope) in performance between the two. While, it is a bit ridiculous, it isn't terribly confusing.

Also, WTF is Waterfox?

The slope is irrelevant... Two different units of measurement, two different scales, two different direction of measurement. There is also no unit/measurement on the x axis. There is absolutely no correlation as it is impossible to derive a slope. Try it.

This is the marketing page for a browser that was supposed to be built on the concept of fast. Not to crap on it or anything, but I'm less inclined to believe any of their data based on that graph.

Y axis also has no consistency.
 
The only data that matters are the dots on the side of the infograph. None of the lines inbetween the dots is actually data.

Is Octane not also measured in ms? I don't know. I just assumed it was because it was on a the same line axis. If not, yeah, that is dumb.

No, it's irrelevant unless they explain the difference between the two test. I'm betting there's no relevant difference between the tests where you can pull meaningful data out for the X axis.

In other words, it's like timing a 40 yard dash, and timing how long it takes to eat your cereal. Two completely unrelated test.

Now if it was testing loading 100MB of data vs loading 1MB of data, or something where the scale is important, now you can build an X axis.

Well basically there is but with only 2 coordinates.

Lmao

Slope will come out to be something like (12000 octane units - 2000ms) / (Octane - Kraken).

You'd still have to account for the reverse relationship. Although you are technically right even if the data makes no sense.
