Browser Speed Information

Found this, and i think it puts the browser battles to rest (opera wins hands down)

Hey, DVD, I've tried Opera and I think Opera's a great browser but it's just not my style and plus, you can't those precious extensions that you can with Firefox, which I've grown to not live without.

i agree, operas extensions and widgets fail in comparison, i just love opera for its speed and password manager, but i use firefox about 40 percent of the time (it loads some pages better than opera).

Hmm, may have to give Opera a go, it looks likes it's much faster than FireFox. I got rid of IE because of the obvious issues, but according to that link, it isn't much faster than IE, except of scripting. I'm using a highly tweaked FireFox, so probably my speeds are better than that test by a long shot. Still Opera is intriguing. Doesn't the free version have adware? Not that it's terribly important, there's always ways around that.

Cool, then I'll definitely give it a whirl. I like FF, but more speed is always my prime concern, my Security setup is pretty good, so I don't worry much about that. Thanks for the tip and the link DVDBack.

For web developer like myself, I have alot of browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera, When creating my sites, they have to show perfectly on all browser, even though they are XHTML valid. But I like Firefox, since its fast and display everything correctly even with errors.
