why do people love google so much ? they steal your information, have been caught red handed sniffing wifi packets, most of their "innovative ideas" are purchased from other developers, and their own work is shotty at best. Their only claim to fame is their search engine... Advertising, yeah we all love it. Quit licking googles butt.
LOL I tried it by myself and even now Google Chrome version 12 & 13 can't beat IE9 GPU acceleration performance. TAKE THAT FANBOYS.. there's something wrong inside YOUR BRAIN!
they created ie to be optimized for html 5 but those fish are made by microsoft themselves just to make them looks better but the theory is no its not chrome ftw. it can never be better.,
Guuys guuys guuuuys..Firefox 4 and nothing else...even if u get the same FPS at the same fishes number still the Firefox looks smoother..ill upload a video explaining everything in a noobs-Friendly way if i get 5 msgs askin for it =)
Chrome was the browser for people who don't know how the web works and think that faster is better. With Internet Explorer 9 Chrome is a bit outdated I think.
I'm a big fan of Firepl0x because it's so advanced.
yea i know, ie9 has graphics acceleration.. (using your graphics card, too) BUT im almost 100% sure that chrome updates their browser so it will use gpu acceleration, too!
@Greekpride1231 IE9 has the worst interface ever. I've done speed comparisons myself and even if in theory ie is supposed to be faster, GOOGLE CHROME IS STILL FASTER IN REALITY.
i disagree google chrome is still better and i got qwest high speed internet and that and google chrome its awesome screw all these new internet explorers and shitt
I tried the test in Firefox 4 beta 12 and in IE9 beta. Tried Firefoxfirst and results were better than Chrome is in the video and pretty smooth with the occasional stutter and a slowdown on1000 fish but not by much. IE9 must be a fix! I have an ATI Radeon 4870x2 which probably helped the browser a lot but there was no stutter or slowdown and the thing handled the rendering amazingly. I can't believe that Firefox and Chrome would show such poor results on their own benchmarking tests
This doesn't prove much. Check your CPU and GPU usage when doing these tests, neither are maxed. If you notice your hard drive light, it's not blinking too much, which further condemns the test as....

Why does people mention Chrome? Firefox has WAY more themes than all others, also it has WAY more addons than all others.

IE is for microsoft fanboys, Chrome is for teens. Anyone who is remotely versed in computer tech knows that Firefox with addons > All others.
@enemy2k10 Um, I was comparing modded for both. The problem with IE and Chrome is that they really have no mod market when compared to Firefox's giant addon and plugin base. Their addon/plugin market is a joke.

i get 20 fish @ 35fps on crome, 20 fish @ 60fps on IE9. IE9 also loads up blazing fast. on the downside, i'm having some issues loading certain sites on IE9 which i'm hoping is fixed up by the official release
Yes guys!!! IE9 is your solution if you want to see fishy's all day long. its soooo cool and you only have to wait for 3 minutes before the IE9 loads the website!!! this is amazing!!!
get over it.... IE never beats Chrome.
Chrome is for a productive mind, IE9 is for a dreamer's mind.
The truth hurts guys, Internet Explorer 9 FTW. when Microsoft make the IE better than others, people say this video is made by MS or they say this is fake HAHA, they always have to say something, PS: IE9 has better FPS than Chrome, wow get OWN lol
idk but this new IE9 is quite fast i was fan of chrome and firefox.We al know that fanboys wil stay behind there browser when its obvious that IE9 is very nice.It loads faster than chrome im quite suprised from MS.
Very Microsoft thing. Take something simple and make it complicated. What on earth one wants to prove by showing graphics capabilities when on internet, serious issues for IE are related to security and holes than playing fishtank like tests? I wish of getting a computer without IE and preferably without any of MS product... Damn, it is so hard to get an empty laptop without MS crap...
1. Microsofts 3 E's didn't work with HWA. But this was what they intended to use it for. Thing is, it can be easily copied, therefore is not MS/Win-specific enough. Now they hope webmasters will use ugly Win7-only Meta-statements instead.
2. Yes, IE has security holes, those of interest are, among others, ActiveX, because they are IE-only.
3. I use Linux Mint with XP Theme. No MS software. No MS specific virus.
4. Yes. We have the same problems in my country. MS is everywhere.
@ytvoice1 Thanks for your kind reply. It is nice to hear your point of view. I been working with Ubuntu etc but as my laptop and pc both are equipped with MS programs, I can not remove them completely as I have paid quite big price of those softwares, even though they came through re-seller.
Wow, this test only compares hardware acceleration, which is not requred much for loading your usual webage. If you want to run a non-biased test, search "Peacekeeper" and look at the comparisons.
@pvrrthebest It was not an answer for you. If there is an @name first in the message, like in this message, it is primarily meant for that user, not for all.
@pvrrthebest lol the firefox fanboyism is strong in you. windows isn't the only platform opera runs on, using the hosts file would be plain dumb. content blocking and ad block lists surpass editing some hidden, os specific file.
As far as I know Chrome's HTML5 is half baked sure it will be improved, but it good to see that those people who don't know there are other browsers will finally get a good experience.
And all you tawty geeks saying this is a bad test. Get back to your Linux and shut up.
What a crap test. You test is just showing which browser is doing hardware 3d integration. It wont be long before Mozilla base browsers take advantage of the moves from ATI and Nvidia.
IE(9) is going to have some of the same features that google chrome already has. The text on the web pg supported the hints provided by the video that microsft will "chromify" IE 9.0's interface by mimicking Google's browser's UI. PS: IE(9) only going to be available for win vista and windows 7 NO XP!!!!!!! AND THE !ST READ BETA VERSION IS DUE IN SEPTEMBER , 17, 2010! AND THE BROWSER WILL SHIP IN APRIL 2011.
@TGSaviorSelf Oh yea Definetly, i will also test IE 9 they need to step up their game, i'd say as a chrome user, the other browsers arent really a match in terms of speed, I'd say if IE9 surpasses the speed and rendering level of HTML that google chrome can do i might use it,...maybe, in my opinion chrome has everything i need , its lightweight, its fast, it loads html preety smoothly and has the extensions i need.
@TGSaviorSelf Very True ,, The thing about IE is that most people think its the only option they have to browse the internet, most people are also scared to download other browsers such as Chrome or even Firefox, as of now IE still dominates the Web Browser market and as Microsoft keeps releasing new versions of IE with better improvements than the previous versions the average joe is going to be satisfied and continue to use IE for the internet, thus making IE still the most popular web browser
5: Microsoft can sit back and wait happily untill 2018 to release IE10. Funny enough the exact same time they have the new Windows ready. AND IE9 will not be supported on this new operating system.
@ytvoice1 IE(9) is going to have some of the same features that google chrome already has.

This is how it works. It is not the browser, MS care about, in fact they couldnt care less about it. It is the OS that people have to buy to use it. And what follows that - Office and so on.
Now they steal the UI from Google?
Thought they said, Open Source is communism???
But they have no moral to steal from them anyways... pathetic.
@ytvoice1 Im sure that's your opinion but to be quite honest they should of killed windows xp support for programs along time ago. it's time to move on because xp has been supported for a very long time. IE 10 will be on 7 because microsoft won't make another OS for years now but i dont really care because im on 7 so for all i care they could stop support for vista aswell. I hope your not on xp because if you are it's probablly a jealous comment.
@ENgLiiSh360GaMeR I am not on XP. I am on Linux Mint. I have the XP theme, though, because XP was a pretty goood system, when it comes to usability. But I am not bound to MS now, I am not bound by an in built faulty browser with 8 years old security holes (and BTW I probably go for the new Mint, which is NOT Ubuntu - seems very interesting).
2. After half a year, every other browser have HW-support, and IE is still the slowest, most irritating piece of shit lousy insecure and not user friendly brwoser, it has allways been.
3. People realize that the world has not changed because of IE. Webmasters have to take care of other than IE-users. But now it is too late, they have allready paid for it.
And with certain issues, IE can be a pain the a** to develop for.
BUT, so can FF and Chrome as well as Opera and others.
Each browser brings on its on little crap querks that we have to deal with.
But, I deal with it, because I am hear to support all that venture to my domain's.
It is a continues job, and if it is too much for the average person to deal with, then do not become a developer, and continue just complaining about it instead, it is easier.
If youre a webmaster, you surdenly do not want to leave them out, and a lot of other things can be made via fallback, but not speed gained via GPU, this MS has killed, because they do not support XP for IE9. ..IE7 and IE8 cannot upgrade.
So... when I make a homepage, if I want to be sure the time is the same, I can either do not use this "plugin", which makes it pretty useless, otr just telll them, "This page is best viewed with IE9"? Remember 1998?
Well... it costs money too. Which simply keeps amazing me people do not realize.. But anyways, they pay for something worse than what I can have for free, that is theiir problem.
@ytvoice1 What costs money? webgl? Opengl ES is open and royalty-free. This is just accelerating 2D graphics using DirectX. I managed to make Chrome 7 perform quite well on this test with a few modifications to compile with flto and a few other optimizations. I have a feeling the test could be improved too... Hardware acceleration should be unnecessary for something this simple.
Chrome also has better support for CSS transforms which can produce even smoother results.
No, I meant IE costs money. When I discuss this with others, people allways keep saying IE is free. Well last time I used it, I had to pay for windows.
I don't know ehy I should pay for something that is worse than what I can get for free.
IE is the worst browser I have ever tried. It's insecure, it's slow and it's a pain in the ass with usability. It will not change with IE9. Remember it's only beta. Or is it Beta yet?
Can you please do a brutal calculation, a test that do not require special hardware or OS to be run, a Javascript speed test will be cool
it good to see IE9 will use much more Hardware acceleration then older IE. I just hope for IE fan that other browser do not start getting help on rendering with CUDA implementation that will work good cross platform.
LOL this test is ridiculous, it only shows that IE9 uses windows' hardware acceleration more efficiently than other browsers, which is to be expected.
IE9 uses DirectX, while other browsers have integrated support for graphics (which enables them to be cross-platform).
Without DirectX, IEs couldn't even render a png with transparency correctly... plus, i dont know for IE9, but up to IE8 it still was impossible to put 2 transparency effect on 1 element, while all other browsers can.
@FukEduP72 Actually its far from rediculous. At the end I want the browser who runs the smoothest minimizing the usage of CPU. If Crome and/or firefox wants to sacrifce speed to support multiple platforms that's fine, but most of us use windows anyway so I will definatly go for the fastest browser. Thats why im using Opera now, but this might change when IE9 comes out.
@FukEduP72 Windows uses directx, and so does any other program running on Windows, Windows does not use OpenGL so basically what i'm saying is, is that you're wrong. You can't run a exe program on a Mac or Linux(natively) they specifically make each program for each OS not one program for all OS's.
You are to be a Troll and what you are saying is wrong. Sadly you have 23 thumbs up by people who takes this info as facts. IE wins because of GPU acceleration yes, which is to come in Opera and Chrome
I'm glad IE/MS is FINALLY bringing something to the table, but remember, this never would have happened if FF/Chrome hadn't pushed them. You would still be stuck on an a ancient insecure version of IE6.
Now, that being said, what doesn't impress me is that MS is having to fall to hardware acceleration in order to compete with what Chrome has done in software. Wait until Chrome supports HW Accel, and they apply their tight optimized code... IE will be in the back seat again....
@SgtDmurphy Remember Chrome is the 1st web browser, and MS have to release multiple IE to be able to reach to Chrome, I don't what happen if Google start release a new chrome, IE will be behind again lol
For that benchmark IE9 is the fastest browser but for everything I make using JavaScript and HTML5 canvas, Chrome is fastest, followed by Firefox, and IE9 is last. Does anyone else have similar experiences using HTML5 canvas on multiple browsers? I wonder if there is some style of programming or techniques I'm missing out on.

Very Microsoft thing. Take something simple and make it complicated. What on earth one wants to prove by showing graphics capabilities when on internet, serious issues for IE are related to security and holes than playing fishtank like tests?

1. Microsofts 3 E's didn't work with HWA. But this was what they intended to use it for. Thing is, it can be easily copied, therefore is not MS/Win-specific enough. Now they hope webmasters will use ugly Win7-only Meta-statements instead.
2. Yes, IE has security holes, those of interest are, among others, ActiveX, because they are IE-only.
3. I use Linux Mint with XP Theme. No MS software. No MS specific virus.
4. Yes. We have the same problems in my country. MS is everywhere.

PS: IE(9) only going to be available for win vista and windows 7 NO XP!!!!!!! AND THE !ST READ BETA VERSION IS DUE IN SEPTEMBER , 17, 2010! AND THE BROWSER WILL SHIP IN APRIL 2011.

@TGSaviorSelf Oh yea Definetly, i will also test IE 9 they need to step up their game, i'd say as a chrome user, the other browsers arent really a match in terms of speed, I'd say if IE9 surpasses the speed and rendering level of HTML that google chrome can do i might use it,...maybe, in my opinion chrome has everything i need , its lightweight, its fast, it loads html preety smoothly and has the extensions i need.
kendy4 1 year ago
@TGSaviorSelf Very True ,, The thing about IE is that most people think its the only option they have to browse the internet, most people are also scared to download other browsers such as Chrome or even Firefox, as of now IE still dominates the Web Browser market and as Microsoft keeps releasing new versions of IE with better improvements than the previous versions the average joe is going to be satisfied and continue to use IE for the internet, thus making IE still the most popular web browser

IE9 is not supported on XP
IE10 will not be supported on Vista and 7.
This is how it works. It is not the browser, MS care about, in fact they couldnt care less about it. It is the OS that people have to buy to use it. And what follows that - Office and so on.
Now they steal the UI from Google?
Thought they said, Open Source is communism???
But they have no moral to steal from them anyways... pathetic.
ytvoice1 1 year ago
@ytvoice1 Im sure that's your opinion but to be quite honest they should of killed windows xp support for programs along time ago. it's time to move on because xp has been supported for a very long time. IE 10 will be on 7 because microsoft won't make another OS for years now but i dont really care because im on 7 so for all i care they could stop support for vista aswell. I hope your not on xp because if you are it's probablly a jealous comment.

What will happen is:
1. Microsoft releases IE9 and everyone goes crazy
2. After half a year, every other browser have HW-support, and IE is still the slowest, most irritating piece of shit lousy insecure and not user friendly brwoser, it has allways been.
3. People realize that the world has not changed because of IE. Webmasters have to take care of other than IE-users. But now it is too late, they have allready paid for it.
4. Microsoft is happy.

I am a web developer.
And with certain issues, IE can be a pain the a** to develop for.
BUT, so can FF and Chrome as well as Opera and others.
Each browser brings on its on little crap querks that we have to deal with.
But, I deal with it, because I am hear to support all that venture to my domain's.
It is a continues job, and if it is too much for the average person to deal with, then do not become a developer, and continue just complaining about it instead, it is easier.

Then they buil this horribly insecure IE in the OS. And they cannot remove ActiveX.

How about IE7 and IE8?
If youre a webmaster, you surdenly do not want to leave them out, and a lot of other things can be made via fallback, but not speed gained via GPU, this MS has killed, because they do not support XP for IE9. ..IE7 and IE8 cannot upgrade.
So... when I make a homepage, if I want to be sure the time is the same, I can either do not use this "plugin", which makes it pretty useless, otr just telll them, "This page is best viewed with IE9"? Remember 1998?

ytvoice1 1 year ago
@ytvoice1 What costs money? webgl? Opengl ES is open and royalty-free. This is just accelerating 2D graphics using DirectX. I managed to make Chrome 7 perform quite well on this test with a few modifications to compile with flto and a few other optimizations. I have a feeling the test could be improved too... Hardware acceleration should be unnecessary for something this simple.
Chrome also has better support for CSS transforms which can produce even smoother results.
Ormaaj 1 year ago
@Ormaaj
No, I meant IE costs money. When I discuss this with others, people allways keep saying IE is free. Well last time I used it, I had to pay for windows.
I don't know ehy I should pay for something that is worse than what I can get for free.
IE is the worst browser I have ever tried. It's insecure, it's slow and it's a pain in the ass with usability. It will not change with IE9. Remember it's only beta. Or is it Beta yet?

Can you please do a brutal calculation, a test that do not require special hardware or OS to be run, a Javascript speed test will be cool
it good to see IE9 will use much more Hardware acceleration then older IE. I just hope for IE fan that other browser do not start getting help on rendering with CUDA implementation that will work good cross platform.
greenseed666 1 year ago 2
LOL this test is ridiculous, it only shows that IE9 uses windows' hardware acceleration more efficiently than other browsers, which is to be expected.
IE9 uses DirectX, while other browsers have integrated support for graphics (which enables them to be cross-platform).
Without DirectX, IEs couldn't even render a png with transparency correctly... plus, i dont know for IE9, but up to IE8 it still was impossible to put 2 transparency effect on 1 element, while all other browsers can.
FukEduP72 1 year ago 27
@FukEduP72 Actually its far from rediculous. At the end I want the browser who runs the smoothest minimizing the usage of CPU. If Crome and/or firefox wants to sacrifce speed to support multiple platforms that's fine, but most of us use windows anyway so I will definatly go for the fastest browser. Thats why im using Opera now, but this might change when IE9 comes out.

@FukEduP72 Windows uses directx, and so does any other program running on Windows, Windows does not use OpenGL so basically what i'm saying is, is that you're wrong. You can't run a exe program on a Mac or Linux(natively) they specifically make each program for each OS not one program for all OS's.

My take....
I'm glad IE/MS is FINALLY bringing something to the table, but remember, this never would have happened if FF/Chrome hadn't pushed them. You would still be stuck on an a ancient insecure version of IE6.
Now, that being said, what doesn't impress me is that MS is having to fall to hardware acceleration in order to compete with what Chrome has done in software. Wait until Chrome supports HW Accel, and they apply their tight optimized code... IE will be in the back seat again....
