Could we get the tables in ENGLISH, por favor?

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

If you could read the language it's saying "lower is better" with all those IE7 bars which are 10 miles long.

don't be easily fooled by a couple of numbers slapped onto a graph

Curious to know, is the Safari version being tested on a Mac or a PC? Last time I checked, the PC version was absolutely awful. That was a while ago though, so they may have upped their game a bit now.

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.

Opera 9.5 IS slightly faster than firefox 3, but not really enough to switch as the only reason.

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.

You're right. I'll drop it ;)

As I said earlier, Firefox has the best framework but these studies clearly state that both Opera and Safari uses the best rendering engines.

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. wink.gif

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. smile.gif

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?
