According to tweet from officials, three companies, Apple, Google, and Mozilla, the developers of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, are working together to develop Speedometer 3, a benchmark for the next generation of browsers. As a result, the major players in the market for web browsers and rendering engines will have a say in a benchmark designed to evaluate how well their apps work with any newest technology that websites might be utilizing.

Mozilla claims on Twitter that a benchmark created by a number of web companies will help to create a “shared understanding of what matters.” The company claims that coordination between web developers, standards bodies, groups that create engines that interpret code based on those standards, and businesses that create browsers based on those engines is important. ” Working together will help us further improve the benchmark and improve browser performance for our users,” according to Apple’s WebKit Twitter account.
