Both test results show similar performance across different browsers and devices, with slight variations in execution per second (e.g., Chrome 98 outperforms Safari/537.36). However, without more context or information about the specific benchmarking scenario or requirements, it's difficult to provide a definitive analysis.

If you have any additional details about the benchmarks, such as:

1. The type of strings being compared (e.g., Unicode, ASCII, regex patterns)
2. The specific use cases or scenarios under which these benchmarks are taken
3. Any specific optimization techniques or configuration settings used during benchmarking

Please let me know and I'll be happy to help further!
