@ 2011/08/29Version 13 once again earns Google Chrome the Web Browser Grand Prix championship. Chrome's sheer number of wins nearly discounts its weaknesses.
With only one weakness and the highest number of non-winning strong scores, Mozilla Firefox is once again our runner-up. A bit of trouble in CSS performance, as well as a high number of merely acceptable scores, are all that hold back Firefox from taking the gold. Although the new rapid development cycle may be hurting Firefox in our reliability benchmarks, it also allows Mozilla to keep pace with Google Chrome on the performance front. Firefox 7 is supposed to bring improvements to both JavaScript and memory usage/management, which are two key areas that might allow Firefox to pull into a first-place finish.
