Vote for what browser you think is the fastest. My favorite browser would be firefox because it is fast and you can add addons to the browser. More secure than internet explorer.

Chrome is by far the fastest web browser out there. It doesn't mean I like it. I like Firefox, but that's not the question, eh?

patio · « **Reply #2 on:** April 23, 2009, 09:45:28 AM »

The speed of a browser is proportionately related to how good a system is maintained and kept up coupled with the line speeds of your connection and other misc. factors...
When i see lab tests comparing them i just chuckle...milliseconds are not something i sweat over...
Rather what's important to me are features, reliability, and most importantly security.....
So you can venture a guess on what i use.

OK just kidding.

I would have to guess and say you use FireFox. At least I hope that is it.

Very true. I also like Firefox better even though chrome is faster.

I use k-meleon 1.1.4 , its the easyest on system resources and one of the lightest browsers available making it the fastest, i use 56k modem so i really notice speed increase/decrease, and k-meleon is all ill use.

iamyourmom · « **Reply #7 on:** April 24, 2009, 09:05:07 PM »

Actually, of all the browsers i've used (IE 6,IE 7, Firefox, Opera). I feel that Opera is the best, and this is of several reasons. The main one I think is that it is extremely fast, but not as fast as chrome. However, it is the pheriphals from Opera that I feel it makes it the best browser.

Firstly, Opera has its own built in chat client, which means that there is no need to install any other addons for chatting, like in Firefox. Secondly, Opera also has a built in download acclerator, as well as its own torrent client, which again, means that there will be no need for any addons.

patio · « **Reply #8 on:** April 25, 2009, 07:48:44 AM »

The whole logic behind extensions in FFox is so that you only install those you want or need....not like it's a big chore.

goodwill221 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 26, 2009, 12:01:47 PM »

Firefox is the best browser available. It has great support and has soon many useful extensions that I can't live without. I love that i can use Firefox on any platform I use(Windows, Linux, MAC). If you want a good secure all around browser this is the one for you.

Just fyi, every program can lag. Every program can freeze.

I just like Firefox because of its cusomability. I wouldn't consider the most stable on earth, but that's probably because I have it loaded with add-ons.

Chrome is fast, but as patio said it is not the answer, not yet anyways.

It's nothing to do with supporting Firefox. Some sites are built around a certain browser, but sites like Royal Mail would be compatible with all browsers. FYI, Royal Mail loads fine for me with FF.

allan1957 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 04, 2009, 08:45:46 AM »

I CAN ONLY TELL YOU OF MY EXPERIENCE JUST 20 MINUTES AGO, the royal mail site does not support firefox, hence it would not let me print off the label/postage i purchased, as soon as i load my browser internet explorer, it was only then i could print from the site, i look forward to your comments

kpac · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:07:55 AM »

Well I can tell you of my experience 5 minutes ago. I went onto the Royal Mail site and had no problems whatsoever.

allan1957 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:16:24 AM »

what you should try is printing off label/postage you purchase from the royaal mail, firefox will not let you

Besides that, I really doubt that the problem is that Firefox is "incompatible" with the site. I think it's probably just a problem with your version. If you want to investigate, then please start a new topic in this board.

Yes, but usually, HTML and CSS rendering is not affected between versions - usually security, usability, and stability is updated.
HTML and CSS rendering and layout is something you get right from the beginning - that's what a browser is for after all.

Chrome by far,
I downloaded Chrome yesterday and noticed a difference straight away,
however its still not my default browser - firefox is still preferred.

Firefox is a decent browser, but Chrome has that built-in sandbox mode that other browsers don't have, which prevent malware from being activated in browser to pc....

Actually, forget about google Chrome, get SRWare Iron, which is a better version of Google Chrome. All the privacy issue related things coming with Google Chrome has been removed (except for new tab page but that can be disabled easily). Google doesn't need to collect information about what you do!

I just connect the ethernet cord from my router directly into a special bio-neural implant. then I simply siphon gigabytes of data from cyberspace.

My experiment failed, though, since most of the data I gathered was both irrelevant and completely useless. I'm not interested in who J-Lo is marrying this week, nor do I wish to know of ways to increase my bustline. these were the main themes in the data, along with speculation as to the development of fake reality TV shows and celebrity relationships.

But how 'bout those new Portabello mushroom pasta recipes ? ?
That in itself must have made it worthwhile...

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #32 on:** May 25, 2009, 02:20:41 PM »

That's true, but it got a bit mixed up with other data. for example, my attempt to make it failed since the recipe data was mangled. It asked me to add 5 cups of Bill Cosby and a quarter litre of Regis Philbin. needless to say they were uncooperative.

I found the recipe odd in that it didn't ask for the mushrooms that were the theme of the entire product.

patio · « **Reply #33 on:** May 25, 2009, 02:28:54 PM »

5 Cups of Cosby and a quarter litre of Regis would end up in 20 + years of idiotic TV programming wouldn't it? ?..........uhhhh oh wait. Nevermind...

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #34 on:** May 25, 2009, 02:43:58 PM »

yes, that's why I was hesitant to follow the recipe. my hesitation was meaningless since they refused to allow me to take portions of them! I even said, well, human bodies are modular, just an Arm or a leg is all I need. I mean, srsly, it isn't so bad to part with an arm or a leg. they grow back. portabello mushrooms d... well, they do, but that's beside the point. Now please, I have this rusty hacksaw with me, just sit still and let me chop off one of your arms or legs.

Anyway, they called security and threw me out. thankfully, they decided not to start their joint project, "who wants to succumb to terrible jokes from a elderly comedian who won't shut the *censored* up".

So in a sense I saved the world. I even found a real recipe. turns out, it wasn't 5 cups of cosby but rather 5 cups of chopped mushrooms.

And with that, I scrapped the whole bio-neural implant idea. But once the technology is perfected... it will be the fastest browser! We just have to wait for Al Gore to perfect it.

PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA Recipe
Italian Pasta

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large leek or 2 bunches of scallions
4 minced garlic cloves
6 ozs. of portabello mushrooms, diced or sliced
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
10 ozs. of angel hair pasta

Directions:
Heat the olive oil. Sautee the leeks (or scallions) for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and sautee for another 30 seconds or so. Add mushrooms, and sautee until they are wilted and the liquid the mushrooms gave off has evaporated. (I don't mind the liquid, I actually think it works better with it in the end..) Then add the vinegar. Stir, season with a bit of salt, and set aside.

THEN, cook the angel hair pasta. (Allowing the veggie mixture to set while the pasta is cooking allows the flavor to enhance itself.) When pasta is ready, drain, and then add the veggie mixture.

Serves 4-5

Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is really fast, looks to be on par with chrome. can't really tell the difference in speed though. A few miliseconds makes no difference to me anyway.

official google chrome's address bar can save all the searches you make to google's servers so google can see what you are searching for and who you are via the ip address if you don't disable the search recommendation function.
