> With macOS Ventura, Safari is the world’s fastest browser

> Testing conducted by Apple in September 2022 using JetStream 2.1, MotionMark 1.2, and Speedometer 2.1 performance benchmarks. Tested with prerelease Safari 16.1 and latest stable versions of Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox at the time of testing on: 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2 and prerelease macOS Ventura, and Intel Core i7-based PC systems with Intel Iris Xe Graphics and Windows 11 Pro; [...]

So they compared the speed of m2 MacBook, with an Intel i7 instead of an intel i7 running macOS?

I want to repeat this test myself after upgrading, but it seems strange to compare a browser against another on different operating systems (Safari on M2 MacOS vs Firefox on i7 Windows) rather than simply 2 different browsers on the same machine.

The only reason I can think of is that Firefox and Chrome haven’t yet been optimised for Ventura.

edit: The dedicated Safari page (https://www.apple.com/safari/) has more comparisons, including different web browsers on the same machine as well as Mac vs Windows.

Seems so! I wonder who they are trying to run under the bus — MS, Intel, or their previous selves? They still sell a couple of Intel-based Macintoshes!
