I still prefer Firefox overall.

Reasons:

  1. open source
  2. extensions
  3. works on every O.S. I use
  4. highly customizable
  5. portable
  6. long time user of mozilla products

The numbers are important, but for me the overall experience using the software outweighs some of these factors.

Are you illiterate to write the text of the pictures in Google?

Umm, this is an English website, so why are you posting stuff written in Spanish in the first place? And why rip the graphs from a site and claim them as your own (Reviews by Members for Members)? Go somewhere else if you want to cause trouble.

Forget it, you won't get anywhere... Why do you think I stopped trying?

I'd be curious to see WebKit thrown in there...

100/100 on Acid3, faster than Safari 3.1 on rendering, (for those who care about it) Open Source...

In all fairness Cara these graphics compare stable builds.

It would be interesting a set of graphics comparing beta engines.

True. Ironic though that the engine behind Safari 3.1.1 is probably the (second) oldest of that group behind ID. ;)

Also, this is a pretty damn unfair comparison. IE 7 is ancient compared to the other browsers. Try IE 8.

People would then question why compare final software against beta software, you can't have it both ways.

use IE7, "too old"

use IE8, "but, it's a beta"

Thats why I think it would be interesting to have a beta comparison. I think IE8 would stand a lot better. In al honestly the future for web browsers its interesting if not bright. :)

I love how snappy Opera feels. When I scroll down a page, it feels so smooth and responsive. However, Firefox is the winner since it provides an addon for anything I want.

Does anyone know how to setup Firefox settings to match Opera's auto scrolling and smooth scrolling settings?

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?

      Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.

      This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
