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.'"

    The "three new kids on the block"? What the fuck are you talking about?

    Google Chrome was first released on September 2, 2008.

    The original release of Firefox (still called Phoenix then) was on September 23, 2002, but based on code that goes back to that released by Netscape in 1998.

    Opera was first released in 1996, but was in development for several years before then.

    Safari was first released on January 7, 2003.

    So I'm not really sure why you're spreading bullshit, but you are. Firefox and Opera are older than Safari by decades.
