The article links to the benchmarks in https://arewefastyet.com/linux64/benchmarks/overview?numDays...

Some benchmarks evaluate "execution time", so the lower the better.

Some benchmarks have a "score" instead, that the lower the higher in the chart. I'm not familiar with these benchmarks and don't know how to interpret it. Is higher score worse or better?

I think that site opted for consistent graphs - points lower on the graph is faster/better, indicated by blue down arrow
I'd also appreciate some kind of notes about what these tests actually represent. What's "Assorted DOM", and why is Firefox so much better (if the scale is representative of anything useful)?
