Icedrake Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Firefox 3.6 vs. Google Chrome 2 vs. Safari 4 vs. Opera 10 Written by Vygantas Lipskas on April 27, 2009 While companies are working on their next-generation web browsers, Betanews has managed to test the performance of the upcoming ones, such as: Firefox 3.5, Firefox 3.6, Google Chrome, Google Chrome 2, Safari 4, Opera 10. Test also includes Internet Explorer 7 and 8. About As it says: “Tests combine the Acid3 standards test with three trusted performance tests for CSS rendering and JavaScript speed.” And now… The results. More is better Speaking of latest stable releases, Betanews claims that while Firefox 3.0.8 scored 4.7, the latest 3.0.9 release was actually slower (scored 4.37). What do you guys think? I personally think there's something wrong with those results. I've heard Safari isn't very good at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 What are exactly those tests ? Things like iBench (Apple), Sunspider (Apple) or V8 Benchmark suite (Google) ? Are IE7 and 8 in 32 or 64 bits ? Too many unanswered questions... Things like "FF 3.0.8 is faster than 3.0.9" are weird. I don't think Mozilla would release an update slowing the browser...

I totally agree with you. Their past tests haven't been very accurate either, so I don't trust FavBrowser's comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoffeep Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 What about 3.0.10? Fantasy is the celebration of what we no longer are: individuals certain of our meaningfulness in a meaningful world. The wish-fulfillment that distinguishes fantasy from other genres is not to be the all-conquering hero, but to live in a meaningful world. The fact that such worlds are enchanted worlds, worlds steeped in magic, simply demonstrates the severity of our contemporary crisis.Scott R. Bakker, Why Fantasy and Why Now?

clarityx Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I've used Opera, Mozilla Firefox, IE, and Chrome, and want to admit, that Chrome is the fastest of them. As I know, each tab in Chrome is еру separate process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrmint97 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think firefox is the best out of all of them, it's fast, it has great add-ons and its nice and easy to use.

mickeyy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I like Firefox 3.5.3. Hate the interface of chrome. They tried too hard to make it look good and missed the basics i.e Ease of Use.
