Very unscientific results using a Mac Studio - Chrome: 20.4, Safari: 17.9, Firefox: 20.1.

Safari on an iPhone 13 Pro Max - 16.5.

On my Early 2015 MBP

Safari 17.4. : 5.52

Chrome 122 : 6.25

Firefox 123 : 7.26

The results pretty much confirms my general feeling about how the browser behaves on my machine as well. Where Firefox being the fastest.

And 22.5 on my iPhone 14 on iOS 17.4

That is my smartphone is ~4x faster than my laptop.

What Safari version are you using? For me, with 17.4, Safari is ahead of Chrome and Firefox, though it is close if you use dev channel.

macOS 14.4 for the Mac Studio tests, and iOS 17.4 for the Safari-on-iOS test.

I'm getting 27.7 in Safari 17.4 on an M1 Pro MacBook. I'm puzzled how you got so low on a Mac Studio.

Another Mac Studio M1 with Safari 17.4:

  22.7 with Content Blocker
  28.7 without Content Blocker

That was it, thanks! I thought I'd controlled for this by using a Private Window, but I'm getting 25.9 with extensions disabled (compared to 17.9 in my original post).

PC i7 13700k (chrome) - 29.8

iPhone 15 Pro (safari) - 23.1

MacBook Air M1 (chrome) - 25.9

MacBook Air M1 (safari) - 18.0
