How Do Browsers Scale?
An anonymous reader writes "Benchmarking browsers is a somewhat silly exercise, since scores cannot be replicated on a variety of hardware, and it is not uncommon for even the same system to fail to replicate benchmarks scores, especially in JavaScript tests in two succeeding runs. The guys over at ConceivablyTech have an interesting approach, running browsers through multiple tests on different sets of hardware (including an Android smartphone), and showing the scaling differences between browsers when you are using a dual-core netbook on the low-end and a six-core desktop on the high-end. They also tested HTML5 on Firefox mobile and found the browser has better HTML5 support than the current Firefox 4 Beta 6."
It's in dire need of being able to do HTML5 uploads like Safari and Chrome. Opera is also trailing behind on this matter.
As for IE.... fuck IE.
sparkbrowser is going to be the next web browser for download, if you currently have both firefox and chrome, why do you have both?? Sparkbrowser Uses both Gecko and Webkit Elements for the fastest and best browsing experience, it will be available for download on http://sparkbrowser.com/ in the coming months it is significantly faster than forefox, and google chrome,
