here's a real comparison. Just going to read it myself...

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html


That article is way too outdated (over 2 years)!
It only had Firefox 2 (which is way slow then 3.x), no Safari, no Chrome.
As a result Opera stole all the best scores!

The article I had was only a month or 2 old.

That's because it's the best browser. Have you ever tried it?

it's probably no different now, to be honest.

Firefox 3... doesn't really seem much faster then FF2.... but I like the new interface.


In either case- you can't really base a browser decision based solely on speed. The biggest decider of speed is going ot be the connection itself. a few milliseconds to display a table or something isn't going to make a difference if it already took five seconds to simply download the table contents.

So would a fish. Although I think the fish would be doing so more because it can't breathe air rather then some sort of shock from what I said.

yeah, I perform for a group of fish in a club. I take their breath away. I'm so funny I leave them gasping for air, flopping around on the floor in death throes of humour. then they all stop moving and the janitor comes in, basically sees this one person on a stage and thousands of dead fish on the floor... and says, "I'm not cleaning that mess up."

Yeah, but is the janitor referring to the floor, or the stage?   ;D
