"Fastest"...!? Isn't this a superlative? I suppose not?!

[Saurabhdua]

Hi Guys!

Isn't there a REGULATOR for WWW that can testify & ascertain the 'Frivolous' claims often made by browser makers for their product being the 'FASTEST' among breed!

Both Opera & Apple Safari claim their's to be FASTEST!!?

No lawsuit, no litigation from anyone?

This is truly uncharacteristic  of the people living across Europe & US; where, being sued has become a common phenomenon!

Any inputs...?

It's called marketing.

[Saurabhdua]

There are laws to govern & check the 'Marketing' as well. Advertising Standards councils play a BIG tole to rein in 'Misleading' claims!

How's the IDEA on the possible REGULATOR for Online Marketing companies?

You have way to much time on your hands.

They probably are both the fastest according to their own benchmarks wich are stacked to put them in the lead. For example, one browser may render html faster, while another may run javascript faster or whatever, and one may have a faster launch time.

All depends on what is being tested, as to how the results are skewed.

I'm pretty impressed with Chrome and Opera as far as performance

I'll go with this theory....

I read that Camino is actually the fastest but because it's optimized for Mac OS X that is why it isn't a competitor that's why it isn't renown as the fastest. Opera has kept the title for being the fastest web browser for many years now. ^_^

I wrote the fastest browser:

Code: [Select]


int main()
{
    return;
}

It doesn't work, but its FAST!

[neelchauhan]

They aren't really the fastest. It varies on your connnection.
They are tricking the users. The fastest is based on how fast the loading of the browser is.

[BC_Programmer]

The fastest is based on how fast the loading of the browser is.

Excellent! So your vote goes to BCBrowser:
I've even managed to make it even better!

Code: [Select]


int main()
{

}


[kpac]

Maybe you could make it even faster!

I know with PHP if you only have one line of code in a function, you don't need any parenthesesses.

YES! Yes!

Code: [Select]

//credits to kpac for the massive optimization.
//don't forget to compile with /O2 for maximum optimization
int main();

A fast browser would also be dependent on other factors:
OS, processor, memory.
What's running in the background?
What's the cpu type and available memory?
Is it conole or graphical?
How does it render graphics if it is graphical?
Does the machine it is on have a graphic card- non integrated?


Links and elinks are much faster. Console browsers.
Dillo, amaya, w3c are fast. graphical browsers.

If you can build the package yourelf, you can set the build flags and optimize it on your own.

So it is quite likely that the 'so called' fastest browser for Windows 7, couldn't be the one for XP & vice-versa...Right?
