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.'"
oh please! This is for real browsers only.
BTW, is there any discussion where apple fanbois wont jump in touting their beloved products? Give us a break.
My computer has 3GB memory and that dialogue takes ages to disappear and appear.
It's very slow for some reason. The Opera preference panel sometimes freezes when I press Ok. ...wonder if having 100s of tabs open has anything to do with it.
Slashdot needs Geekcode | Can anyone recommend any good SCIFI? My tastes: Foundation, Startide Rising, CITY, Ringworld,
Site preferences in Opera is a complete pain to use.
Firstly, there's no toolbar button to bring it up, it's buried under 3 levels of menu selection.
Secondly, the browser doesn't tell you which domains are trying to set cookies or run scripts, so you have to guess.
Thirdly, it's only simple to set preferences for the current domain. You can't set preferences for other domains that the current domain accesses.
Compare to CS Lite + NoScript and you'll see how badly designed and functionality-poor Opera's site preferences feature is.
GCHQ Quantum Insert installed. If only our tongues were made of glass, how much more careful we would be when we speak
