Firefox 3.5 Benchmarked, Close To Original Chrome

CNETNate writes "The tests prove it: It's the third-fastest browser in the world, and over twice as fast as Firefox 3. In terms of Javascript performance, Firefox 3.5's new rendering engine places it squarely above Opera 10's beta and Internet Explorers 7 and 8 (based on previous benchmarks), plus it's getting on for being almost as quick as the original version of Google Chrome. Also, the new location-awareness feature was testing in central London, and pinpointed yours truly to within a few hundred meters — easily enough for, say, a Starbucks Web site to tell you where your nearest Starbucks is."

    Opera is still my baby- I'll take any browser that includes precustomized user interfaces that allow me to connect to international irc channells and "chat" bot style.

    And here I am expecting some comments along the opposite lines - like, "I don't use a web browser, I just observe the cloud".

    Why is it that when the police murder a Brazilian electrician, it's "wrong", but yet when a terminally ill person goes to a Swiss clinic to end their own life it's somehow acceptable?
