According to the article, SpiderMonkey's PRNG is not much better than V8's. It seems we are using a even older algorithm, although ironically have a better result.
After reading this article as well as some introduction from the wikipedia, it seems to me that "xorshift+" is probably the best algorithm to adopt, because it is simple, fast, and passes all tests in TestU01 [1], which indicates it should also have a good quality. I'm not an expert on this, though.
