Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests

Posted by kdawson on from the there-fixed-that-for-ya dept.

ThinSkin writes "So many Web browsers, so little time. The folks at ExtremeTech have assembled the ultimate browser test to determine which Web browser is king. From speed tests to rendering tests, different browsers traded off wins, but Google Chrome came out on top."

    How about people who use TIVO?

    They gain the ability to skip ads at the price of having to watch the television show at a later date.

    Just because I sometimes want a less-intrusive browsing experience does not make me a leech.

    Actually it does. Just like in torrenting, if you seed one torrent forever but refuse to seed any other torrents you use, your leeching.

    I have no problem paying for stuff, and contribute to free projects, donate to Wikipedia etc.

    Then why not contact extremetech and ask them how much your blocking the ads cost them and send them that amount? If you're willing to pay for an ad-less internet, why not actually pay for it?

    Konqueror sucks. On most of the sites I visit, it doesn't render the page properly. For that matter, Even Firefox 3.0.3 continuously crashes on my Fedora Core 9 installation.

    The BSOD has become quite rare on Windows (since Windows 2000), but these seemingly random crashes continue to plague Linux. And then we ask on Slashdot why people are afraid to use Linux!
