Browserscope

Open-source, community-driven project for profiling browsers

Goals:• foster browser innovation• be a resource for web developers

Based on UA Profiler

key characteristics

• more of a matrix than a benchmark• reproducible results – boolean vs. milliseconds• extensible framework – easy to add new tests• historical trends – uncover regressions• zero operating costs• results are crowdsourced!

crowdsourcing

Users running the tests is key for Browserscope's longevity, accuracy, and currency.• no dedicated test resources – project runs in

perpetuity• wide variety of real world test conditions • aggregating results reduces biases • new browsers show up immediately

 This is where you come in!
