Mobile OS War

Mobile OS Worldwide Monthly 2010.12 - 2011.12

The last month of 2011 brings Nokia Symbian OS as the leader with 33.47% . From June 2011 to October 2011 it seamed to be on a free fall, but now recovering fast in the last 2 months of the year.

The other two major mobile operating systems Android and iOS seem to finish the year neck in neck: Android going up to 21.81% and iOS going down to 22.6% .

BlackBerry OS started to lose market share from the beginning of the year and from a good 18% market share in Jan 2011 now falling to 7.8%.

Chrome over Firefox in last month of 2011

Chrome takes the lead with almost 2% in December 2011:

Browser Market Share 2010 12 - 2011 12

Firefox 9 vs Chrome 16 vs Opera 11.6

All the standard benchmarks for the browsers namely:

• Sunspider 0.9.1
• Kraken JavaScript Benchmark (version 1.1)
• Google’s V8 Benchmarking suite
• Hardware stress test

Kraken Results

In the Kraken Benchmarks where lower score is better, Firefox was obviously inching closer to Chrome but Chrome still leads the pack. Opera performed pathetically.

Sunspider Result

In the Kraken Benchmarks where lower score is better, Firefox was obviously inching closer to Chrome but Chrome still leads the pack. Opera performed pathetically.

V8 Result

In v8 benchmark suite though, Chrome was leading by a fair enough margin. V8 is Google’s own benchmark suite and you can never expect Chrome to perform better than others, though the difference was not as huge as once it used to be!

Memory Consumption

As you can see in all the tests above, Chrome by each version, while adding to the significant bloat it carries, is definitely slower than its predecessors, while the JavaScript enhancements made by Mozilla for Firefox 9 definitely shows up.  On another note, apart from Kraken, Opera performs reasonably well too, but some sites (like Google+) still have formatting issues with it.
