关于哪个浏览器启动速度最快一直存在争议。它可能因系统而异，并且可能取决于各种因素、浏览器版本或浏览器上安装的插件或附加组件。那么我们如何测量浏览器或任何软件的启动时间呢？^{(start-up time)}使用AppTimer。

适用于 Windows 10 的应用定时器

AppTimer是一个免费软件，它将运行一个可执行文件，预设次数，然后测量每次启动所需的时间。它测量在退出应用程序之前直到接受用户输入的状态的时间。每次运行后，AppTimer将以自动方式关闭应用程序，然后再次重新启动它。

您可以选择运行应用程序一次或多次，但最好将工具设置为多次运行应用程序以便获得平均时间。

基准测试^(Benchmark)和测量^(Measure)Windows 10中的应用程序启动时间

App Timer的主要用途是对应用程序的启动时间进行基准测试或比较多个产品在同一硬件上的性能。它还可用于比较同一产品在不同硬件上的性能。与使用秒表进行手动测量相比，使用AppTimer将提供更加一致和可重复的测量。特别是当应用程序的启动时间少于几秒钟时。

我决定为Windows的四个主要浏览器计时。我在我的 Windows PC 上对Internet Explorer^{(Internet Explorer)}、Firefox、Chrome和Opera的最新更新稳定版本进行了测试，没有任何附加组件或插件，其中about:blank作为每个插件的主页。

打开该工具后，您必须浏览到要测试的应用程序的^{(Application)}.exe文件。接下来，创建一个日志文件并在^(Next)日志^(Log)文件空间中输入其路径。我更喜欢选择 3 次处决。

每次运行应用程序后，AppTimer将以自动方式关闭应用程序，同时将启动时间测量值记录到日志文件中。完成后，我为每个浏览器单击了运行应用程序。^{(Run App)}

您将看到浏览器启动然后关闭 3 次。完成后，您将看到一个小的“已完成执行”对话框。结果输出到日志文件。打开日志文件以查看结果。

结果符合预期。我的Windows 8上的^{(Windows 8)}Internet Explorer 10的启动时间最短。紧随其后的是Opera、Chrome和Firefox——加载速度最慢。我原本预计Chrome的速度几乎与^(Chrome)IE10一样快——根据我的看法——但令人惊讶的是Opera击败了它。

这些是我 PC 上的结果，它们可能因您的系统而异。^{(These were the results on my PC and they may vary on your system.)}

您可以从其主页^{(home page)}下载 AppTimer 。这是一个 63KB 的便携式应用程序。只需^(Simply)提取 zip 文件的内容并运行它。要卸载它，只需删除程序文件夹。

AppTimer lets you Benchmark and Measure application start up times

There is always a debate as to which browser is the fastest to start. It may vаry frоm system to system and may depend on variоus factorѕ, browser versions or on the plugins or add-ons inѕtallеd on the browser. So how can we measure the start-up time for browsers or any software for that matter? Use AppTimer.

AppTimer for Windows 10

AppTimer is a freeware that will run an executable, a pre-set number of times, and then measure the time it takes to start up each time. It measures the time up to the state where user input is being accepted before exiting the application. After each run AppTimer will close the application in an automated fashion, before restarting it again.

You can opt to run the app one time or multiple times, although it might be a good idea to set the tool to run the app multiple times so that you can get the average time.

Benchmark and Measure application start-up times in Windows 10

The main use of App Timer is in benchmarking an application’s startup time or comparing the performance of multiple products on the same hardware. It can also be useful for comparing the performance of the same product on different hardware. Using AppTimer will give far a more consistent and repeatable measurement than manual measurements with a stopwatch. Especially when the application’s startup time is less than a couple of seconds.

I decided to time the four main browsers for Windows. I ran the tests on the latest updated stable versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, without any add-ons or plugins with about:blank as the home page of each, on my Windows PC.

Once you have opened the tool, you have to browse to the .exe file of the Application you want to test. Next, create a log file and enter its path too in the Log file space. I preferred to choose 3 executions.

After each run of the application, AppTimer will close the application in an automated fashion while logging the startup time measurements to the log file. Once done, I clicked on Run App for each of the browsers.

You will see the browser start and then close 3 times. Once done, you will see a small ‘Finished Executions’ dialog box. The results are outputted to the log file. Open the log file to see the results.

The results were as expected. Internet Explorer 10 on my Windows 8 had the shortest start-up times. This was followed by Opera, Chrome and then by Firefox – which was the slowest to load. I was expecting Chrome to be almost as fast as IE10 – based on my perceptions – but surprisingly Opera beat it.

These were the results on my PC and they may vary on your system.

You can download AppTimer from its home page.  It is a 63KB portable app. Simply extract the contents of the zip file and run it. To uninstall it, simply delete the program folder.
