Web Browser Performance: Windows 10 vs. Windows 8.1 vs. Windows 7

If you are still delaying the (likely inevitable) Windows 10 upgrade until it becomes slightly more stable, then here is something that might make you feel better: web browser performance benchmarks on the three most popular operating systems (at least in the US): Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

Now, as far as Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Edge performance goes:

As you can see from the results above, Windows 7 was a clear winner when it came to Firefox and Chrome performance, beating both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 by almost 10%, which is a lot.

And speaking of results, did that delay your plans to upgrade or are you already on Windows 10?
