If I wanted extra time, the first thing I'd do is simply cut out browsing entirely.

    I agree with the Firefox fan club.  On my machine running OSX at home, Camino is a great build based of Firefox that runs much faster on OSX.  Important seeing as this old PowerBook G4 is showing its age...

    If i run FireFox stripped down with absolutely no extensions and themes it will ru as fast as Chrome or Opera....

    After all that's what they are...stripped down browsers.

    and I think for all browsers if you stripped them all down bare naked, it'll probably run just about as fast as each other for similar websites (assumin all else equal and there's no malware or any other thing hacking up any one browser).

      hopefully they're trying to make web browsing easy ... so easy that even a caveman can handle it.  ;D

        let's just say bare naked ladies instead.

        anyway, you guys think srware iron beats google chrome? a privacy-proof google chrome clone with an ad blocker included so you don't need to go hunting for one.

        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.
