Forums - Website Topics - What is the quickest browser? eg, firefox, explorer 9, opera browser?

You people who just use Firefox and haven't tried other browsers should really give the likes of Opera and Chrome a try (the former more than the latter).

Opera and Safari...

PS. Google Chrome is based in Safari.

actually safari it's based on the webkit,

i think it's owned by nokia now.



Hmm i think i am gonna download Opera now haha i used firefox since 3 yers ago now



Perhaps Opera. Had it b4 and it was pretty fast. FF3 is good. IE is crap. Safari is decent. Avant takes alot of time to connect, but buffers vids quite fast for some reason :S... Maxthon2 is fairly fast.

Opera
Chrome
FF3

are the main 3 that I think of :S



4 ≈ One

Ive used all Internet Explorer Firefox and Opera. Opera is easily the best.

Most people will say the browser they use (Firefox) just because they have never tried anything else or its popular.

Opera is the fastest with FF3 closely behind. FF3 was worse than FF2 when launched now theyve fixed bugs its faster than before but not Opera.

I would use any browser out there other than IE. Not until they can follow the Web Standard.



I've used practically every major browser out there.

Top speed is irrelevant. If it renders a page 2/10th's of a second faster yet lags behind in features and customization, what's the point?

A better way to rate them is in overall quality.


Best:
FireFox 3.0.4 (3.1B1)


High Quality:
Opera 9.62
Google Chrome 0.3.154.9


Mid Quality:
Safari 3.2
Konqueror 4.1.3


Low Quality:
Netscape Navigator 9 9.0.0.9
Internet Explorer 7.0 (8.0B2)

lol.  Poor konqueror.  I like what they're trying to do, but it still needs a lot of work...(i have 4.1.3 also)

I agree that browsers should be rated on their featureset rather than speed.  Most of them are fast enough anyways.

And there's always Opera, like everyone has been saying.
