A little down the article:

> We used a factory-restored MacBook Pro Retina 13” to test each website on one internet browser at a time. No programs other than the browser were open.

I'm pretty sure a factory resetted Mac is a fresh install and that it won't have any caches or history. And since they don't mention plugins I'm going to make a wild assumption here and say they didn't install any after having loaded up the browsers on the machine.

Ah, I skipped down to "Testing Philosophy" out of habit when looking at benchmarks. It still doesn't say if the computer is rebooted fresh after each test, but I'd like give the benefit of the doubt on more obvious things like that.
