Browser Speed Comparisons

'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.'"

    RTFA, no? The Moox version of FF is in there and doesn't fair well.

    From the article:

    The Moox Firefox install is actually slower than the standard Firefox versions distributed from Mozilla.org, even though it is supposedly optimised for my particular processor.

    incapable of properly processing the internal helpdesk software that was designed with FrontPage to the latest standards

    Excuse me, If I was Dogbert, my tail would be wagging right now.

    You're designing your software with Frontpage?

    Wow... that's great... There's your first problem.

    Frontpage? Standards? What ones are those?

  4. Re:Mozilla faster than Firefox by edwdig · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I noticed that too and started to wonder. I can understand Mozilla being a bit faster than Firefox since they used the latest 1.8 builds, whereas Firefox branched off the trunk last summer. What really surprised me was that Mozilla beat Firefox in startup time significantly. That means either the Mozilla.org people did a hell of a job optimizing the startup time of the suite, or the extra complexity of the suite doesn't drag it down nearly as much as Firefox fans want to believe. I'm leaning towards the latter being the more significant factor.
