Slashdot Mirror
Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5
Jim Karter writes "In a three-way cage match, LifeHacker threw Chrome 4, Firefox 3.5, and Opera 10 into the ring and let the three browsers duke it out to see which would emerge as the fastest app for surfing the web. Quoting: 'Like all our previous speed tests, this one is unscientific, but thorough. We install the most current versions of each browser being tested — in this case, Opera 10, Chrome's development channel 4.0 version, and the final Firefox 3.5 with security fixes — in a system with a 2.0 GHz Intel Centrino Duo processor and 2GB of RAM, running Windows XP.'"
You've obviously never run Lynx on a beowulf cluster.
After all, it's not a multiplayer game where milliseconds seem to count.
You forget you're on Slashdot. The Windozers will race to post XKCD 619 on every Linux-related story, and it gets neck and neck for the karma boost that "+5 Insightful" offers.
Well no shit Sherlock ... how long does it take to render an empty page ?
RTFA, dammit, it depends on the browser!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
everything just seems fast
So true. More benchmarking tests need to include seems per second. I mean, come on, it's the 21st century and all! At least, it seems to me they should. That way their reports will seem much more seemingly accurate to what I want them to seem. ... I think.
Hey, you forgot to disable that pesky HTML. Let alone all images!
How can you surf that way? Everything but plain telnet is way too cluttered, slow, and has too many holes in its parser!
And don't dare to use and ANSI colors on me! Even if my client could parse them, I'd still have to buy one of those useless color displays!
But I'm thinking about just connecting the Ethernet cable to my headphones and listening to the noise of the packets...
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Back in the old days we used to eat people who did that so that the knowledge they had gained unnaturally could be shared amongst the whole tribe. Now people have gone soft. Still one day the old ways will return.

Like most cool people, I don't care.
Well Opera is immune from that sort of thing because only about 10 people use it so no one bothers to hack it.
Err.
I mean "You're totally right! Opera is a security nightmare! Don't ever use it!"

15 year olds? Dude, I'm thirty, its just as embarrassing when my mom sees them now.

Now people have gone soft.
Yes. They get softer if you cook them. Very good for digestion.
