Website AnandTech has run two speed tests on the internet browsers packaged with the next-gen consoles.

The first test, using Sunspider, a benchmark suite that aims to measure JavaScript performance, found the PlayStation 4 returned a result of 1,027.40 whilst the Xbox One managed 2,360.90. This being a speed test, the lower the score the better and this shows the PS4 browser runs over twice as fast as the Xbox One counterpart.

The second test used Kracken, a JavaScript performance benchmark created by Mozilla that measures the speed of several different test cases extracted from real-world applications and libraries. This gave the PS4 a score of 22,768.70 whilst the Xbox One was around five times slower with a rating of 111,892.50.

The downside to the improved speed is increased power consumption; AnandTech found the PS4 used more juice in every scenario apart from when in standby mode.

Well duh, it is a Microsoft Explorer.... j/k.

I remember reading somewhere a couple years back that Sony contacted Firebox regarding web browsing for the PS3 (given that the PS3's browser is kinda meh), I wonder if they had a hand in it for the PS4's?

meh, not really interested in a browser when there is one one just about every mobile device anymore.

That is surprising honestly.

Good for PS4 users certainly.

It's even worse if you consider that you have to pay for gold for the Xbox browser while you can use the PS browser for free... Or has that changed with Xbox One?

yer cause I buy dedicated hardware to browse the internet lol

But don't you love the snap feature? You can browse the internet while playing or watching movies. Or we thought we could. 

I hoesntly dont care what browsers or features to do with browser any of the consoles have, as I got a PC for that. 

Good that the browsers off all three consoles are usable this time, the PS3/360/Wii ´s browsers were really terrible.
