Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5

Posted by Soulskill on from the three-enter-but-only-three-leave dept.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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!"
