Browser Engines Timeline:

Standards Conformance Tests:

One such benchmark by tomshardware.com
Standards conformance made up of three tests:
HTML5 (HTML5Test.com)
         Chrome still has the upper hand in this measure.
CSS3 (CSS3 Test)
         The Chromium duo, Chrome (1st) and Opera Next
JavaScript (Ecmascript's test262)
         All browsers achieve equally-high scores
         IE10 is numerically the winner

Other Benchmark Studies:

Speed(cold start):   Tab loading;  Page Load time(non-cached load);  page reload time(cached reload);

memory usage:  Based memory,   10 open tabs;

Compliance:   CSS3；  HTML5；

Performance： Javascript performance;

Who is the Best?

You should decide for yourself!
If you don't ever shut down your computer – Then ignore cold boot scores.
Don't like performance tests? Then throw out the JavaScript test.
Have 12GB of RAM? Then toss out memory usage.

Browser Kinds:

Based on platforms (Java, embedded etc)
Based on devices (TVs, phones, consoles, tablets)
