You can take the test on this page: https://browserbench.org/JetStream2.0/
I myself score a result of almost 94: https://i.ibb.co/FbFBvhX/Screenshot-2022-07-31-15-55-02.png

In itself this is not a particularly high result, but considering my hardware it is certainly decent. I use the following hardware:
Intel i3-3240 + 4GB RAM @1600MHZ single channel + NVIDIA GTX 650 1GB + EVO 850 500GB

I think FreeBSD scores well in JetStream 2 and this explains my result.
I am interested in what you get in this popular benchmark and please also mention the hardware and the operating system.
 
Here is mine:
Score: 100.8
System: Intel i7-2860QM + 16GB RAM @1333 Mhz(dual channel) + Nvidia GTX 1080 FTW(eGPU) + Samsung 850 PRO 256GB
OS: Windows 10 2016 LTSB + Slimjet (based on Chromium 101.0.4951.34) (64-bit) Browser

143 which is surprising given my aging rig. But this is Fedora 36 and Brave browser so maybe that helps.
 
My 5600x rig, Firefox browser w. 5mbit connection.

Ooh, a browser benchmark, I haven't seen one of these in ages, ever since Futuremark phased out Peacekeeper :eek:

Side by side, Firefox 104 beta 3 and Microsoft Edge 103, both browsers in a fresh state

Ryzen 9 5950X/64 GB DDR4-3600/GeForce RTX 3090 on Windows 11 Pro for Workstations version 22H2 (build 22621.317)

I'm a Firefox diehard, but it needs another "Quantum" release to bring it up to speed, no wonder Chromium based browsers won the browser wars, it's a bloodbath every time Firefox gets benchmarked :cry:

Interesting, I ran test with Opera and my score jumped.

Yeah, the browser engine is arguably the biggest factor here, unless your hardware is underpowered (like OP's), Firefox is notorious for being a slug, it's a very functional and extensible browser but Chromium and its numerous forks are unbeatable for speed.
 
Edge, windows 11

Here are my results on my daily driver (not the build in my System Specs), Windows 10 21H2

Ryzen 7 3700X (PBO enabled), 32GB RAM 3200MHz, MSI MPG B550-I Gaming Wifi, EVGA RTX 3050 OC 8GB, Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 1TB m.2

These results are with ungoogled Chromium (Marmaduke build):

Unsurprisingly Firefox is a total dog:

With Opera and with the specs in my profile:

Also tried with Firefox which is my daily driver browser for most stuff but that only scored like 135.

On my FreeBSD system, Firefox is even better than Chromium in terms of functionality and stability. But in terms of performance, it usually scores less than Chromium. Although I have to say that the difference in Speedometer 2.0 between these two browsers is only 10% and I think that's only because Chromium now uses PGO optimizations on FreeBSD by default. Suppose that Firefox would also get the PGO build by default, then they will be about the same speed in Speedometer 2.0.

There was a time when Firefox switched to a new engine (Quantum) and my observations are that it made Firefox slightly faster in Speedometer 2.0, but in most other benchmarks Quantum just made Firefox significantly slower than before.

However, there is one odd exception where Firefox is faster than Chromium and that is the WebXPRT 4 benchmark. Here, Firefox ranks higher than Chromium on FreeBSD. I think it will be the same on windows 11. I have other hardware (a Thinkcentre-M75 with Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G) and Edge gets a 130 result in WebXPRT 4. But when I boot my Clear Linux installation USB on the same PC I see that Firefox scores a result of 135. So my impression is that Firefox can also be faster than Edge on windows11 in the WebXPRT 4 benchmark. WebXPRT 4 is a benchmark that was released relatively recently, so it may be unreliable or have bugs.
 
Was bored & sitting at one of my "light usage" desktops so decided to run this benchmark with Brave browser.

I've stuck to Firefox through thick and thin, I occasionally move to Chromium browsers when Firefox slows down too much but always come back to it, my general experience is that Quantum performed significantly better than the old engine, but then again, I am a Windows user and this is from the perspective of a Windows user. I don't know how using operating systems such a FreeBSD would affect it, as a gamer I have enough trouble with Linux adoption as is lol

Edit:

Using Edge in 11.

I haven't benchmarked Firefox against windows11 yet, but I did against Clear Linux. My result was that they are extremely close in most benchmarks. There were three exceptions, Clear Linux was much faster in Basemark Web 3.0 and in JetStream 2. FreeBSD was much faster in SilverBench.

Here you can see how fast Clear Linux is in Firefox compared to windows10:

If people are not going to use the same browser and the same version all these results are worth shit. OS also matters but not so much.

If you post your results, could you spend like three seconds to click Help -> About and post the exact browser and its version? Thank you.

Many results above are from heavy overclockers yet their profiles don't indicate it which is just horrible.

We can occasionally mention the version so that people have an idea. Here you will find mainly Windows users. There are currently possibly even more windows7 users than windows11 users according to statistics.

People of any nationality can eventually participate in Techpowerup. You should also keep in mind that less than 50 percent of Russians currently use Windows. In China it is less than 80 percent. In South and North Korea you also have that people want to use Linux for government desktops. In India you also have people who use Linux. In the Linux world you have more fragmentation than before, Ubuntu is less dominant. You also have quite a few people using macOS, iOS, Android or ChromeOS.

Regarding Clear Linux, quite a few people have already asked me to post a detailed tutorial online on how to use it for gaming. Many people tell me that Clear Linux can become very popular with a little help.

1. Occasionally mention the version? You're not joking? Chrome in version 91 sped up the V8 JS engine in same cases by 25% if not more. In version 99 another major speed up. Do you really believe Chromium is stuck in time and doesn't evolve? There are like 10K software engineers in Google working on it.
2. More Windows 7 users than Windows 11? The hell it matters if browser performance is barely affected by Windows version?
3. Your estimate of Russians using Linux to this extent is grossly crazily off the mark: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/russian-federation Linux ~1%.
4. People game on Windows, period. I don't give a flying **** about Linux which is not even an OS per se (I'm writing this under Fedora Linux 36 mind you).

Without the exact browser version and HW configuration along with specifying at least the major version of an OS the person is running this topic makes exactly zero sense. You may as well throw shit at the fan and enjoy the show.

"Linux has taken over Russia, people run Clear Linux [which is not even a complete Linux distro, more like a testbed for Intel], people game in Linux", what is this crap?

Lastly a similar topic has already existed for three years, no one here cares about this e-peen contest. God, I'm not participating in this thread any longer.

I think most people will keep their browsers up to date, and there are often no huge differences from one or two versions before. So I guess the browser version is something that shouldn't necessarily be mentioned. My browser version on FreeBSD is 103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (64-bit).

In specific cases, the OS can be a huge factor for browsing and networking benchmarks:
