suck on that

QuoteOverall Scores

Obviously, there's a lot more to browser choice than speed—variety of extensions, customizability, and so on—but when it comes to performance, here's how our favorite browsers. We gave each contender a point value for its placing in each of the above tests, then tallied up the totals and divided them by the total number of points each could have received.
Opera 11.51: 82%
Firefox 7: 73%
Internet Explorer 9: 47.5%
Chrome 14: 43%

The difference in speed is to little to make up for the extra utility that Firefox gives me.

I enjoy chromes simplicity, and it works great on Mac OS X

if you are on 10.7 I recommend downloading google chrome from the dev channel as it has been updated to integrate in 10.7 a lot better ( inertial scrolling like safari ).

Its not only about speed anyways, the system integration of opera is extremely bad and the interface does not suit in well with my OS.

Google chrome or safari on the other hand both have good system integration and a clear UI.

Also webkit "2.0" destroys opera anyways in graphics rendering => javascript is fast enough now. A problem with webkit 2.0 however is the memory usage, but I have 8gb anyways so I don't really care.

e: forgot to mention the great many sites that do not work properly in opera. Though the sites did not implement the standards in a decent way it still works properly in firefox and webkit. also do not misunderstand what I mean by this. If you actually like this browser that obviously is your opinion, just stated mine above. That is the gerat thing about technology => not everything works for everyone.

erm, dunno what they do but my chrome beats my firefox concerning memory usage any day.
also loads much faster than ff and dunno why they'd need that long after a coldstart to open the browser, opens up within 2 seks for me :x

though i like the add-ons for ff too useful to dump it
