IE is faster than Firefox

With FireFox, you have the source code. You can put in any security stuff that you want to. If you want to block stuff during three hours of the day on Tuesday and Thursday, you can program that in, recompile and link and have your custom security.

doesnt change much to the end user anyways, i mean how many of them can actually write code hahah

oh and it would be hard to update it every single time for all the new release

It's actually pretty easy with the patch system. I post my changes in the form of patches with an apply script. So folks can just pull the source code, run the apply script and it will apply the patches. This has been working quite well for several months.

We have a few developers that have shown interest in making code changes. Most of the time, folks do code changes for something that they want but we will look at other stuff too. And there are lots of builders around that do optimized nightly builds and will do custom builds upon request if you ask nicely and if they're not on vacation.

I dont need a test to tell me which browser is faster for browsing. IE can never win against my user.js and firefox. I'm not being a fanboy, but I can't help but deny the fact that IE is faster than firefox.

IE is 144% faster than Mozilla :(

[Dark_INk]

IE definitely performs better- and i don't need tests for that =)

When I used to only have a 56k connection Firefox was miles faster than IE.

I think that explains it all ;)

firefox is faster for me :D

[Ronald_Sandoval]

Firefox is a lot faster for all the systems I install it on at work.

I actually talk people into using Mozilla or Firefox instead of Internet Explorer on their new computers.

Firefox loads text faster, but takes a longer time to load images.

Overall, IE will finish the page quicker, but tend to pop lots of the page up at once after it's loaded it, slowing down the loading of text on pages.

Just my personal experience with a lousy 256k internet connection.

firefox is better, IE toooo much spyware.

Please do NOT use this as a benchmark. It is neither fair to both sides. Why? If you compare properly, the count of each websites refreshed are not consistent, some websites are refreshed more than others and etc. Check it out and see for yourself.

I have installed IE and FireFox 0.9.2

my experience is that FireFox is more faster on text and pictures, both.

I dont know about holes security . is more secure IE ? or FireFox?

What effect does browser have over download times?

[L3thal Veteran]

None at all as far as my experience goes. I download at 200kbps on either browser.
