Сравнил популярные браузеры! Какой самый оптимизированный?

Overview

The video compares popular web browsers on weak hardware to determine which one uses the least resources and behaves best under load. The author builds tests around RAM/CPU usage while opening the same workloads across browsers, targeting users with low-end PCs.

Test setup & methodology

• Browsers were tested on real hardware (not a slow virtual machine).

• Test laptop specs:

  • Dual-core Intel Celeron
  • Integrated Intel graphics
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 500 GB HDD
  • 60-bit Windows 10 LTS is mentioned as the main system (the author also checks compatibility on other 32-bit/64-bit Windows versions).

• Recording/display: screen captured via a capture card.

Main test method

1. Measure RAM usage of an empty browser tab.
2. Load YouTube 720p and measure CPU/RAM during playback.
3. Load Yandex Zen (after scrolling) to measure CPU/RAM impact.
4. Load Subway Surf (browser-based HTML game) along with tabs as described; measure CPU/RAM and perceived lag.

Additional notes:

• Only one browser runs at a time to avoid total system overload.
• At the end, a summary table is presented (not included in the subtitles).

Browser compatibility guidance (before performance testing)

The author checks which older browsers still run on older Windows versions, using virtual machines for compatibility validation.

• 32-bit Windows 10: can run “about 10” listed browsers, including:
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Google Chrome
  • Chromium/Pure Chrome
  • Yandex Browser
  • Opera
  • Opera GX
  • Firefox
  • and others (some names are partially garbled in the subtitles)

Reported failures:

- Only **Waterfox** and **[another browser]** reportedly fail (reason not explained).

• 64-bit Windows 7: supports only a smaller set (mentioned: Yandex Browser, Firefox, Waterfox, and N-browser).

• 32-bit Windows 7: support is described as “completely sad” because developers moved away from it. The author notes that:

  • Some browsers still update using the Chromium engine, so they may continue working despite being older.

Additional mentions:

• Firefox ESR (“Ogli ESR”) is highlighted as remaining for security updates with long-term support (functionality updates stop).

Performance results (resource usage themes)

Measured values are approximate due to subtitle errors, but the overall ranking/observations are clear.

Best/fastest responsiveness (author’s subjective conclusion)

• The author claims the fastest and most responsive browsers were:
  • “N browser”
  • Yandex Browser
• Especially on Yandex Zen, where image rendering is described as slightly faster than in other browsers.

Strongest gaming CPU behavior

• Firefox and Waterfox are highlighted as doing notably better in the Subway Surf game:
  • Reported game CPU load: ~75% vs ~90% for most other browsers.
• However, the author notes the game speed doesn’t improve dramatically—results mostly reflect CPU load.

General outcome

• The author concludes that all browsers perform “more or less the same” on this machine:
  • Usually small RAM deltas
  • Small CPU percentage changes
• Ultimately, the “best” choice should be personal preference based on convenience.

Security / recommendation advice from the author

• For “normal” activities like YouTube, Zen, and online games, the author implies any of these browsers are fine.
• For sensitive actions (e.g., personal accounts, online banking, government services):
  • Use browsers with good reputation that have been around for years.

Main speakers / sources

• Primary speaker: the video author/host (unnamed in subtitles; likely the single presenter performing all tests and explaining results).
• Sources/tools referenced:
  • Task Manager (Windows)
  • YouTube
  • Yandex Zen
  • Subway Surf
  • Virtual machines for compatibility checks
