Firefox 4 RC Vs. IE9 RC: the First Duel

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the there-will-be-many-more dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Firefox 4 vs. IE9 is going to be an epic battle in a reigniting browser war in which Microsoft wants its IE to be seen as a capable browser again. Mozilla struggled to keep the pace with Chrome and IE9, but is about to release the first release candidate, which is expected to be the final version of Firefox 4 as well. This first review of JavaScript, Flash and HTML5 tests seems to indicate that both browsers are about even at the bottom line, while Firefox has the JavaScript edge and IE is ahead in HTML5 performance."

    Information wants to be expensive AND wants to be free. So you have Value vs. Cheap distribution fighting each other.

    IE9 will never run on ANY of my machines so there's no contest... it's completely irrelevant...
