Since both Edge and Safari come as default browsers on Windows laptops and MacBooks respectively, they work more like native apps. This is a rough measure to see how fast a browser is but does give an indication. We did the tests on a 13-inch MacBook Pro (2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor). Now do keep in mind that all benchmark tests need to be taken with a pinch of salt and also depend on the kind of laptop you are using. Not too surprisingly, Chrome scored the highest with a score of 528. We conducted a test on Safari, Chrome as well as Edge. The highest possible score on the test is 555. A test called HTML5 can check how fast your browser is. Which is the ‘fastest’ browser out of the three? The first and foremost thing one needs in a good browser is speed.

Tomnavratil: “…if it works for you, blocks the ads well, doesn’t break sites and it’s resource efficient – no need to switch. So I have a few that I sometimes have to switch between. I notice that some adblockers break certain websites, yet don’t work at all for videos or another website. Impert0r15: “Wow, this is amazing! Why wasn’t I using this one before.” Can’t figure out why just this site is getting through.” I don’t think I’d seen a popup in years because I switched. Hoobleton: “I’ve switched to uBlock Origin recently and generally it’s doing pretty well but one website is managing to push through popups. Furthermore it doesn’t consume as much energy as Adblock.” Blocks YouTube ads, has great lists for privacy / malware detection as well and allows you to tweak it to your liking for example by blocking large chunks of media some sites use.” Tomnavratil: “ uBlock Origin works the best.
