lazyweb: arewefastyet.com from mozilla used to visualize performance differences between chrome, safari/webkit and firefox. Safari used to come out on top. Is this still the case? Is there perhaps another site where one can follow these browser races?

Safari doesn't run on Linux and hasn't supported Windows in a long time. Opera and Edge have or are switching to be Chromium based. iOS doesn't allow apps to implement performant browser engines so they all skin Safari.

Technically you could load Firefox, Chrome, and Safari on Mac but Firefox and Chrome have wildly different performance on the same hardware running on Mac vs Windows.

So in short no, there aren't really any useful comparisons to be had beyond what arewefastyet currently has.

Arewefastyet has Mac results, but it only includes Firefox on Mac, not Safari or Chrome.

arewefastyet.com still exists but it only includes Chrome and Firefox, not Safari.
