JSmol runs in the javascript of the browser. Different web browsers operate JSmol with very different performances (see [[JSmol/Rotation Speeds]]). '''Firefox runs JSmol best''' (Safari is equally good). '''Chrome''' and '''Opera''' are up to several fold slower, and '''Edge''' is about 4-fold slower. '''Internet Explorer is unacceptably slow''' (all versions, including version 11), but since early 2016, it is [http://www.netmarketshare.com no longer the most widely used browser]. Thus, Firefox is by far the best browser for JSmol.

FirstGlance in Jmol detects the browser being used, and recommends a different browser when not in Firefox.
FirstGlance in Jmol detects the browser being used, and recommends the optimal browser when another browser is used.
 
The findings below are based primarily on tests with [[FirstGlance in Jmol]], and possibly results may be different for other JSmol websites.
