"Fastest Browser On Earth" Cuts Crud

gabec writes "The guys at Opera have been rewriting their rendering engine over the past 18 months, tossing out legacy code and making the browser more DOM compliant with the intention of making the self-proclaimed "fastest browser on earth" even faster. They claim to have succeeded, according to this article on ZDNet.. Fun stuff.. ;)"

Re:The truth

Yeah, I love it. I'd probably laugh if it wasn't so pathetically sad. Everyone I know that actually runs Linux/Mozilla and knows what they're doing(i.e., not a 12 year who installed Redhat off a bootable CD and considers himself "a linux user") completely agrees that I.E. is a great browser.

What's also funny is the ammo mozilla/opera users use in their arguments:

I.E. user: The compatibility with today's plugins and scripting languages is unparalled.

Mozilla/Opera user: We have pop-up killing!

I.E. user: The image renderer is awesome.

Mozilla/Opera user: We have pop-up killing!

I.E. user: Not to mention that while an open standard is best, you will find most webpages catered to users running I.E.

Mozilla/Opera user: We have pop-up killing!

I.E. user: You got a lot of pop-ups, don't you?

Mozilla/Opera user: All day, everyday, wall to wall pr0n and warez sites.

I.E. user: My god....

Mozilla/Opera user: 1337!
