Speed test for speed freaks - Browser Wars

in

This an a great and very thurough review of current speed tests for internet browsers on Windows, Linux and OSX. I do mean very thurough.

    Some key summaries:

    "Internet Explorer on Windows was either as fast as - or faster than Mozilla and Firefox for most tasks, with the exception of scripts, where it took over twice as long."

    "So overall, Opera seems to be the fastest browser for windows. Firefox is not faster than Internet Explorer, except for scripting, but for standards support, security and features, it is a better choice."

The results alone won't make me switch browsers but it is an interesting view on where browsers are going. Personally I use FF 1.5 for everything I do and then have IE7 as a back up browser. I upgraded to IE7 to try out the tabs but the reviews are correct, Internet Explorer's tabs are immature and look more like an alpha than a real release.

In Internet Explorer 7 I can only open a new tab and nothing else. What happened to making IE 7 easy?

As Always leave me a comment - What is your favorite browser? If Firefox, then what's your favorite extension?

But I love them all equally! I am a little 'bloated' because I have 42 extensions installed on my Desktop FF.

I use All in One Sidebar and the Gmail Manager the most. However, the Web Developer is a must have for working on websites.

Oh and this one is Fantastic! Its called Bookmarks Synchromizer SE and it is a must have for anyone with an FTP server and more than one PC. It really is a flawless way to sync the bookmarks on different boxes. Yes I do social bookmark, but this has unique applications.
