Might have some potential with custom mouse over text, not sure yet.

Anyway, so far 64 bit chromes seem nice. I'm just doing my usual browsing, nothing out of the ordinary. Later on I might put it through a couple of benchmarks and see how it goes.

Although early, my first impressions are good :)

I don't think you should have custom mouse over text. It's nice as an easter egg here and there, but I think there should only be so much you can customise.

Maybe ones being similar to "Proud Zarosian" for the Zaros badge, "Ew, Gods!" for the Godless one, but I don't think it should be entirely customised.

Just my thoughts, though.

I'm interested in those benchmarks


This is one of the better all round benchmarks imo.

If you run it on your current version of chrome be sure to save your score.

If you then try the 64 bit version do run it again and compare.

Things to do to get accurate results...

- Don't have multiple tabs open. Reason is you need to reproduce the same conditions for all tests.

- I suggest starting each test right after a re-boot. Again this is so you can reproduce the same conditions.

- Don't run consecutive tests, example test IE, then test FF. Your windows system wont be same for each test. Available RAM etc may likely be different thus later tests will often give lower score because your system isn't fresh.

- Make sure to write down your score :)

Oh rip, I was hoping you'd do it for me :D Don't feel like installing 64-bit Chrome atm :c


Okay here you go, here's my results.

Before I list the numbers I want to explain some things. My results will not be the same other people's results. Every computer is different and these differences will influence the final result. That's why I encourage people to do their own tests, so they get the right information.

I benchmarked six different browsers, with no running extensions and all with their default settings. Each benchmark was run after a re-boot, and no other applications were open. Only a single browser tab was open for each test, no multi-tasking what so ever.

A word on benchmarking and Runescape. Don't ever use Runescape as benchmark, FPS are influenced by population, activities, and location from all players across the world. Latency also varies. These things cant be reproduced or factored in when making comparisons. Anyone who uses that as incontrovertible data should be exposed to ridicule and extreme pain. Sure try different things and do what works best for you, but be aware of the factors you can not control.

The results below are from http://peacekeeper.futuremark.com/ I like this test because it uses many common real world activities to measure performance. Each browser was benchmarked four times and the score is the average from those results.

Higher scores are better.

Opera 32 bit....................3557
Chrome 64 Bit.................3379
Chrome 32 bit.................3253
Firefox...........................3048
Internet Explorer 64 Bit....2230
Waterfox 64 bit...............2185

Summary below because I cant fit it all in this post :/

Edit: Updated the numbers after running some more tests.

Opera was the only browser to fail a test due to not supporting a codec for HD video. However the raw speed from it's javascript engine and fast rendering should come as no surprise, over the last few years Opera has always excelled in that area.

Waterfox claims to be 'probably' the fasted browser on the web. Well their uncertainty in their logo is enough reason to never go there, and the benchmarks support this.

Internet Explorer is a mixed bag, while it has a low overall score it did come out on top in some tests, however it's average has brought down it's overall score.

Firefox seemed to handle the tests quite well, though it really seemed to struggle on one test designed to tax your system, yet HD video rendering was quite good and it breezed through the hardcore HTML5 canvas tests. Oddly the results for Firefox vary greatly when re-running the test, I mean huge differences. It was actually this inconsistency that convinced me to run four benchmarks for each browser and determine the average score.

Chrome 32 bit Was pretty much as expected, not much to say here and I assume most people who see this post already know the ins and outs of this browser.

Chrome 64 bit Even though the score is only a little higher than the 32 bit version, it was quite a surprise. Usually with such a small margin of results you'd never notice the difference with your eye. However that's not case here. HD video is beautiful, not only smooth but actually better quality. Chrome's font rendering has also improved.

HTML5 canvas tests is chromes (32 and 64) weakest area, it's not bad but other browsers do better.

Conclusion:

If you use 32 bit chrome and are running 64 bit OS, you might as well upgrade to the 64 bit version. The claims of better stability cant be tested in a short space of time, however the other benefits seem well worth it in my opinion. Going from 64 bit back to 32 bit is also not a problem, I had no issues going either way.
