Firefox >>> Chrome

[sdifox]

Interesting about the page loading. I didn't realize Firefox actually delay it. That makes a lot more sense now though.

well, style sheets can only be applied properly once all the bits and pieces load.

Wow just downloaded Opera 11 ... blew me away!

BTW, Opera 11 is only a 13MB download...
Firefox 4 and Chrome are at 30MB? What the fuck did they put in there?

Yea Im tellin ya, IE9 is pretty awesome. Now to find a good ad block.

I know IE9 is supposed to be a HUGE leap forward and puts it seriously in the running with other modern browsers. But it just doesn't "feel" right using IE. That and I still don't trust MS to get security right in IE. Though I have no complaints about their security with Win7 for the most part so it's mostly irrational, I still doubt I'll ever use IE again.

But, but, they didn't add anything, they took stuff away! Opera has news reader, email client, bittorrent client, rss reader**, content blocker**, irc client, and tons of features the others require extensions to duplicate.

** included in Firefox, but not Chrome

The firefox people probably don't know how to compress things so they just tarball it at full size :awe:

The UI in IE is a frickin mess.

hey its like microsoft security essentials is one of the top AVs out there... and less resource hog than good ones like ESET NOD. I used to use NOD32, and its still the best. I put it on my parents comp, but it slows down WAY to much. MSE is much lighter.

Actually I'm using MSE right now and suggest it to most of my customers lol, and for much the same reason, it has good detection rates and is lite on resources. I used to use AVG. But I still can't bring myself to use IE.

The biggest gripe I have is that in chrome, large complicated pages (like the front page of engadget.com) will not scroll smoothly while they are loading. Once its done loading all is well, but its rather frustrating sometimes.

Chrome scrolls like shit period. Every couple of months I re-download it to see if they removed the 60hz scrolling cap, and I'm always disappointed.

The UI in IE is a frickin mess.

In what way? It's nearly identical to Chrome. The pinned apps feature is pretty cool too.

Probably because it doesn't work. Every single page has that little error at the bottom saying some script failed.

internet explorer 8 --> 20/100 and it says it's trying to run some addon
Opera 11 --> 97/100

IE9 actually does very well on that

Google has some of the worst designers on the planet working for them. The icon set in Chome looks like something out of a bad Linux distro. The iconography in stock Android makes Windows 95 look good in comparison.

I just use DD-WRT to block ads, trackers, and malicious sites, for all browsers and computers on the local network. I've even modified it to also block web-based anonymous proxies and URL shorteners (blocked a fake Facebook login page just last night for the stepdaughter).

I miss DD-WRT so much, I should check if my new router is finally supported.
