@MrOcturnal I will give it to Firefox

[Randomguy578]

i lost hope in firefox its so lagfy

[VikramIyer]

@Randomguy578 Firefox may have lost in Uniqueness aspects which it once had!!! But its catching up slowly one by one - I clearly see difference in JavaScript speeds to begin with in Firefox 9 atleast.

Opera - FTW

Firefox - Memory Hog

Chrome - not customizable...

[VikramIyer]

@vaaas I differ to agree Firefox is a memory hog!! Opera on the other hand is still not complete in all aspects. Chrome is a browser that is addictive though I prefer it the least.

firefox is faster on faster computer with at lease 6gb of ram for me with an intel i7 2670qm quadcore processor turbo boosted to 3.1 ghz firefox ran alot more faster then chrome

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

start firefox.exe

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\

start chrome.exe

@raulpisko7 I'm with you dude! As much as people bash IE9, there are some cases where IE9 beats chrome in speed and graphics. Customization I could care less about. As long as it performs well and handles the websites well with speed and accuracy, I'm good!

@vaaas chrome is number 1 in memory hogs. cause they use a lot of processes. that why they are fast.

[raulpisko7]

ie9 hasn't changed much? are you kidding?

@VikramIyer "I clearly see difference in JavaScript speeds to begin with in Firefox 9 atleast."

First I wouldn't call it 'slowly'. Second, most "browser tests" are synthetic / JavaScript tests which don't tell shit about real-life browser speed nor functionality and ease of use. In this area Firefox has made a huge progress and doesn't plan to slow down! (I've abandonded it for 5 years, coming back now).
