Browser Benchmarks: RIP PeaceKeeper
-
Futuremark's PeaceKeeper that I have used for years to gauge the progress of each new Opera version is no longer supported. These are the most recent test results that I have:
PEACEKEEPER (HTML5 Test)
- Firefox 39.0 scored 3843 and 7/7 (467/555)
- Vivaldi/1.0.233.3 scored 3669 and 6/7 (526/555)
- Vivaldi 1.0.219.51 scored 3653 and 6/7 (526/555)
- Opera 28.0.1750.51 scored 3235 and 7/7 (519/555)
- Opera 29.0.1795.35 scored 3216 and 7/7 (519/555)
- Opera 12.18 build 1863 scored 3195 and 5/7 (338/555)
- Opera 11.64 build 1403 scored 3158 and 5/7 (270/555)
- Internet Explorer 11 scored 2392 and 5/7 (341/555)
- Opera 8.54 scored 100 and 0/7 (Yes, it really is that bad!)
Are there any other benchmarks that are worth using?

Disclaimer: I don't really use benchmarks, so I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Moving on,
I use AlternativeTo to find alternatives to software that I'm tired of, fed up with, or is dying/dead. A search for "Peacekeeper" on that website listed Numion Stopwatch, and The Acid3 Test. Because I didn't feel satisfied with either of those, I also Googled "browser benchmark test" and found Browsermark, Kraken Benchmark, and Octane Benchmark. There's also this article over on How-To Geek which covers a few different benchmarking tools. And, of course, there's always html5test.com.
