Test tool on other browsers #16

In addition to Firefox, that I normally use, fully test the tool, in particular the speed, on Chrome and Safari. Perhaps also IE? Any other platforms we should be supporting?

One may want to examine other operating systems in combination with other browsers. One may also want to see if they could work with their IT staff to build the browser from source. There are instructions for Chrome, Firefox build from scratch:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Mac_OS_X_Prerequisites https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/MacBuildInstructions

The building of the browser from scratch allows one to optimize the build to one's hardware.

I'll test as many different browsers and OS's as I can, however it's probably unlikely/unrealistic that curators would embrace building a browser from source for any single application. We'll need to develop as best we can for the maximal common ground.

If one wants to test quantitative comparisons, one can use various online testing benchmarks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_speed_test To be relevant, one should examine those that focus on javascript performance.

Using Octane on Ubuntu 12.04 Linux, https://octane-benchmark.googlecode.com/svn/latest/index.html I find that Mozilla Firefox 19.02 and Google Chrome 25.0.1364.160 do produce different scores: Google Chrome Octane Score: 6609; Mozilla Firefox Octane Score: 4630;

Results may differ on various hardware and operating systems, but Google Chrome may prove to be faster.

There may be other tests that one may want to use to quantify javascript performance on one's operating system and hardware.

My experience using the annotation tool seems to reflect the results of these tests.
