JavaScript is a widely used programming language that is used to create many features such as animation, navigation, forms and other common web applications. Peacekeeper serves to deliver a good comparison, for all interested persons, of the different browsers available to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The tests includes the following:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Array Suite <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>arrayCombined <\/li>\n<li>arrayWeighted <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>DOM Suite <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>domGetElements <\/li>\n<li>domDynamicCreationCreateElement <\/li>\n<li>domDynamicCreationInnerHTML <\/li>\n<li>domJQueryAttributeFilters <\/li>\n<li>domJQueryBasicFilters <\/li>\n<li>domJQueryBasics <\/li>\n<li>domJQueryContentFilters <\/li>\n<li>domJQueryHierarchy <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>String Suite <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>stringChat <\/li>\n<li>stringDetectBrowser <\/li>\n<li>stringFilter <\/li>\n<li>stringValidateForm <\/li>\n<li>stringWeighted <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Render Suite <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>renderChart <\/li>\n<li>renderGrid <\/li>\n<li>renderPhotoZoom <\/li>\n<li>renderAlpha <\/li>\n<li>renderPhysics <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>community01Encrypt <\/li>\n<li>community02ParseXML <\/li>\n<li>community03Filter <\/li>\n<li>community04Sort <\/li>\n<li>community05Scroll <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s quite a bit of stuff. For those that don\u2019t care about the technical aspects of it all, it is senseless\/needless jargon. You just want a browser that works for you, right?

A single run of the Peacekeeper benchmark with 5 browsers gave me the following results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The format displayed is: Browser (version number) \u2013 score.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Chrome (1.0.154.48) \u2013 1621 <\/li>\n<li>Safari (4.0) \u2013 1610 <\/li>\n<li>Opera (9.63) \u2013 715 <\/li>\n<li>Firefox (3.0.7) \u2013 597 <\/li>\n<li>Internet Explorer (7) \u2013 252 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Google Chrome tops the list while it might not be the same for you.
