You’ll be glad to have Chrome. I only use IE when required at work.
I finally got Firefox downloaded and it is better than Chrome (and IE). I’ve been doing comparos and web pages with a lot of graphics definitely load faster with Firefox. The only complaint I have so far is that I can’t find the refresh button. Minor.
313 and 9 bonus points on Firefox 6. OK but not great.
298 and 9 bonus points on Firefox 7 beta. Even worse.
At least I have Ogg Theora support.
Look to the right of the URL in the navigation toolbar. An arrow bent into a semicircle.
Nice test.
On Mac OS X Lion:
Firefox 6: 313 + 9
Safari 5.1: 293 + 8
Chrome 13: 341 + 13
On Windows virtuals at various stages of advancement:
IE6: 25
IE7: 26
IE8: 41
Firefox 3: 74
Safari 3.2: 44
Safari 5.1: 252 + 2
Chrome 13: 340 + 13
The moral of the story is: Stay away from IE and make sure you update your other browsers. Also, Apple doesn’t put as much effort into Safari for Windows as for Mac.
