how is possible youre running all 4 browser at the same time and getting such a good scores? Im trying to run the fish test only on chrome and with 1000 fish i got like 9 fps lol My computer isnt exactly slow. Phenom II x6 3.3ghz, 4gb ram ddr3, gtx560 ti

[Vasileski88]

Can someone explain to me why is that Opera gets such a bad score on this site's tests ?

browserscope(.)org

[Mariupolo]

@Vasileski88 The graph in that website shows upto Opera 10.64; right now, the latest stable version is 11.60, with a solid 64 bit 12.00 alpha available, which I'm using right now.

[casylius]

Wow - chrome is so crappy

[HunterDK333]

i thought google crome was gonna own them all!

[ale4lb0]

no entiendo una mierda!!!!!

[thcmas]

Nice work, good job, btw...

[Showbeest1]

@TheMuuusicMan noob

[Showbeest1]

what a shitty test

watch benchmarks and you will see that chrome is the best.

it's IE FISH TANK off course it wil run the best on internet explorer.

noob

[iMediaDoctor]

@Showbeest1 if you look at the old results you'll see it's not a biased benchmark at all.

[MadSupra354]

@Showbeest1 ...No. You're a fucking tool.

[Showbeest1]

@MadSupra354 You're just stupid. Go back to youre cave

[MadSupra354]

@Showbeest1 You clearly dont have any knowledge if thats all you can comeback with.

Everything on this website to do with Hardware Accel is true, I think HTML5 might be a lie though.

[hadronc]

@Showbeest1 Right? It's obviously designed to run best on IE.

A 60 fps cap? Why not let the browser render up to 120fps? These new "3d ready" monitors that can run the windows desktop at 120hz is getting rave reviews all over over how smooth the desktop is. 3D games also look much more solid. If the browser have the ability to render at 120fps on an 120hz monitor, 24fps movies do not need frame interpolation to look smooth since 120/24=5.

[FUJISHIR0]

@darkultra because your screan is configured at 60hz.

Firefox 4.0.1 took me 17 seconds

operas hardware accelaration pwns ie 9s crashy buggy driver nusance creating gpu accelaration

[theParanoid04]

Opera's been my favourite browser since a long time but to play games on Facebook, i've to switch to other browsers! Our slowest pal in this video... ahem ahem... Firefox handles facebook games way better than Opera.

Still 'hoping' if Opera could do something about this issue :-(

I've been learning HTML 5 by creating a particle system. It didn't took long for me to realize that Firefox is extremely slow. Unfortunately, because of the hardware acceleration the differences between school and my home are extremely big. My pc can get up to 6000 particles and run pretty smooth (with GTX 480) and on school it goes slow @ 200 particles (onboard chipset). When I use firefox at school, it lags at 50 particles... I expected more of firefox :(

*Sets opera to default browser*

[zachtam24]

cant belive FF4 soked.. it was my favorite browser.. sadly no more

[lij8]

OPERA IS THE BEST!

[Jobetheren]

Were we supposed to be able to read any of that text?

[Flodice]

Opera!

[fishcomputer33]

aww poor firefox, i still use you anyway because ur still more awesome.

[jokingrofl]

does this hardware acceleration benefit those with chipsets like intel's gma?

[nrgshkl093]

@jokingrofl operas gpu accelaration runs perfectly fine on my intel gma but IE 9 crashes and slows done all the time....

[photographiczen]

Very nice results. IE9 still beats them out of the water!

[polaromonas]

Yeah that's impressive for Opera. However, Opera needs to do something with compatibility issues (especially with Facebook). For every new build Opera will have issues with Facebook and that's annoying as hell! I want to move away from it though, but it got me hooked with mouse gesture, speed dial, and M2. :(

[vir00z]

Opera > All

[movax20h]

You should not run all 4 browsers in the same time. THey are competing for a single resource, and graphics card will switch between them. Much better results will be achieved when running each browser separately.

[ComedyDerp1337]

What did firefox get? :P

[kapsi]

@otommod But the "native" part...

[kapsi]

@EuroSkept1C Native HA? What does that even mean?

[NRecob]

Opera? Pass. Tried it for a day or two and saw how bad it was with bank websites and the like and haven't been back. If I can't have Chrome I'll use Safari. IE is out of the question and I was never a Firefox fan even with some of the stuff Aza Raskin has done....

[beardymonger]

Great, Microsoft has managed to hide the fact that it was averse to open-standards up to 2010 (SVG? we do VML), and gets everyone to talk FPSs. The great diversion. :-((

This video is lame! Instead of FPS, talk about the world that awits us around the corner. NO, i don't mean fanbioys talking FPS, but the open web becoming MORE important, and Silverlight, Flash, are goid down the drain fast.

Talk about IE having no WebGL! How about that for 2011? Feels more like 2001. MS defends DirectX :(

[KJN311]

@beardymonger webGL? LOL. If games were made in webGL we would be gaming on Linux. MS killed webGL with DirectX...Google isn't going to change that.

[Pranav360]

@trevonndavid Have you seen the numbers the dev build gets against the beta on Sunspider? Usually the beta does the best. Well at least on my ThinkPad.

[trevonndavid]

@downloadsquad y dont you use chrome 11 dev

[mrseblog]

@trevonndavid No particular reason. The alpha/dev builds are generally a bit flaky though, as Pranav360 says. I didn't use a nightly build of Firefox, either.

[NextGenerAZN]

Weird. I could've sworn the speed reading was faster on previous betas. I tried the Minefield nightlies and they gave me 55 seconds, a "bearable" speed compared to the beta results.

[mrseblog]

@NextGenerAZN Ah-hah! That's still awfully slow though. I wonder what's holding it up...

[blossomhell]

I just moved from Chrome to Firefox... now I may move onto Opera. I have very little ram, so I can never have too much going on in my browser. Hopefully, Opera will prove to be fast and stay fast! Over and out. :)

[mrseblog]

@blossomhell I'm pretty sure Opera will always be one of the fastest! It always has been :) Good luck.

[94fleetwood94]

Somebody help Chrome it's choking with all these fishes.

[aaNiceGuy]

nice video thanks for the comparison opera is the underdog of all browsers

[4rsh4dk4m4l]

Holy crap! Wasn't expecting that kind of results from Opera! I am slowly leaning towards Opera from Chrome.

[survivorevil]

@4rsh4dk4m4l i think all of us underestimate opera. Right now its been the best browser for my android phone
