Benchmarking Firefox 3.5

Same. I play around with other browsers, but Firefox is what I use. It's the most usable of all the browsers, and the little bit of speed difference isn't enough to matter.

I can tell the difference. My subjective ranking would be this...

Chrome
Opera
Firefox
IE8

The result is the same as above for me in Linux, except IE8.

I use FF 3.5 as a backup browser (don't really needed it, because Opera can 99.99% of what FF does and more)
Opera is what I use for banking, financial research, online trading, and flash.
Chrome for most of my surfing.
 
Once Google gets the APIs for chrome finalized and chrome gets noScript, I'll be chrome for life. Speed blows FF out of the water, and having each tab as its own task is awesome (ie: if one stops responding you don't have to close the entire program).

In the meantime I primarily use chrome with FF as a backup. IE is only good for updates.
 
I have had some issues with FF regarding website rendering. There have been more than a few sites that have simply not even loaded under FF, but load fine under Safari/Stainless/whatever. Also, I sometimes get an odd "download the latest version of Flash to view this" message when I visit sites that have some flash content, even though I really do have the latest version of Flash. Currently, however, I'm using Safari 4, which is AWESOME.
 
Yeah Chrome is pretty amazing, just seems to be light years ahead of all the other browsers out there. I'm so attached to FF and a handful of addons, though, which makes it difficult to switch.
 
Well, those are javascript-only benchmarks. When you take everything in account (memory usage, DOM operations, javascript, layout), FF3.5, Chrome and safari 4 are all pretty close and all much faster than IE-anything.

I don't know why anyone who knows even a bit about computers would bother with IE.

I have to agree that individual tasks per tab is awesome.

So far Chrome is the only browser that I havn't have the need to kill the process, while FF 3.5 and Opera sometimes need kill process to close down.
 
I've had a lot of little issues with Chrome, but I don't fault it, as it's still early in development. My problem is I don't care for the interface. It's too stripped, and I don't like having the tabs on top of the window(my problem with Opera also). It's a decent browser, but I prefer Firefox.
 

Funny that everyone cries how horrible IE and all other MS products are, but they can't stop buying/upgrading the MS crack Windows.

lawl, have you used Firefox lately? I use Chrome on my pansy laptop and FF on my beefier desktop, but Firefox isn't exactly lightweight these days.
