Speedometer 3 is designed to test the full range of how normal users operate browsers by running on normal web pages instead of benchmarking in a tight environment. The new version is still unstable, but users can start testing it now. The new project is in its early stages but the collaboration marks a turning point.Īpple, Google, and Mozilla have announced they are jointly developing the next version of the Speedometer web browser benchmark to better represent modern browser tasks. The software's next major iteration will receive input from three browser vendors to offset user concerns about possible bias.

Why it matters: Apple currently maintains Speedometer 2.1, a tool for benchmarking web browsers across various workloads.
