The benchmark test results
The winner? Unsurprisingly, it’s the browser from the company that’s been working most closely with the Arm development ecosystem: Microsoft Edge. But what
is surprising is that it’s neck-and-neck with Mozilla Firefox! Here’s the evidence:
In this WebXPRT test, Mozilla Firefox is neck-and-neck with Microsoft Edge.

In the Speedometer test, Edge’s lead was more pronounced—but it’s still fair to say that Firefox performed extremely well, enough that Firefox fans can rest assured that their preferred browser is close enough to the top. As for Vivaldi (and Arc)… well, we hope for better in the future.
I didn’t notice any glitches while using these browsers, except for one: Brave crashed when initially trying to import favorites/bookmarks from another browser.

I could have used Basemark as a third test, but that pushes more heavily into WebGL and use of the tablet’s GPU. WebXPRT and Speedometer are probably good enough to evaluate the best Copilot+ PC browser, as far as everyday performance and responsiveness.
