Could not sign-in/create account to the blog comment thingy, so asking here:

Is there performance numbers available per browser in Android somewhere and to which browser the mentioned numbers apply?

Traditionally the vendor shipped browsers in Android are abysmal, out of date, probably insecure and not standards compliant. So what I am really interested about is stock Google Chrome or Firefox performance. And if these numbers are from either one of those, it would be nice to know.



Firefox on Android is much slower in every JS test I've ever seen. We only test against Chrome on Android. The 5x perf improvement is across the board but slower devices benefit much more. You may not notice a 200ms improvement on say an iPhone 6, but you will sure notice a 1000ms improvement, or more, on older and slower android devices.
