On: Firefox finally outperforming Google Chrome in Sun...

Bragging about your sunspider score is like bragging about how many myspace followers you have.

Besides I'm not sure how much these benchmark tests are relevant to real world performance anyway.

It doesn’t look like bragging to me. The only comment Phronix has from a Firefox person is:

> We’re now apparently beating Chrome on the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark!

“Apparently” seems to indicate that it isn’t something they are putting a ton of stock in.

I think that's what you'd call a "humble brag".

It would only be a humble brag if it was something that the Firefox developers thought others would be impressed by. It's a single line item on their internal dev blog, the bar for entry is not exactly high.
