stockwiz Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Opera. I like the instant back/forward, plus the browser just feels light.. I used to use firefox exclusively because of page rendering and bugs, but right now it's about 50/50 for me. I use what I percieve is best at any given time... not really a fanboy of any of them.

Neil Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Firefox with FasterFox Extension Indeed, not to bothered that it is not as fast as Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraEye Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 i prefer using firefox over both opera and explorer. although i see opera as a much better competitor to firefox i believe firefox's extensions make it better and more customizable for every user's unique use. despite all that, from several articles and comparissons i take it opera's browser is faster. still what matters for me more is functionality:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallab Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Opera is more functional :p And yes, it is faster. But the Fx 1.1x arent the slow coach that it used to be. It is catching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Age Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Can't based any browser. Members, browser's are based on opinions from the people. I'm with Opera. Not telling the reason... beccause of how pointless this thread is... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I say Bon echo (Y) i'd have to agree. opera was for a long time the fastest in my experience, but the last few builds of their latest beta 9 have been buggy, slow and prone to crashing. hopefully they'll sort that out. firefox was always in 3rd place for me but bon echo is very very fast on my machine. IE7 is capable and quite quick but i just cant live with the UI compared to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony-inpo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Bon Echo is really fast at pretty much everything. Loading, rendering, opening/closing/scrolling between tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp2215 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I say the IE7 Core with a shell on top. Ie 7 is very fast however it boggles down older computers (like mine). I am currently using Maxthon ontop of IE7 and it is going blazing fast. Much faster then firefox was and even faster then my opera was (Yes, i have all of them installed right now). So I would definatly say IE7 and Maxthon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trong Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Opera is fastest But I've gotten Minefield to be just as fast or faster with a couple of Bangbang023's tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallab Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I havent tried Bon Echo, but so till now Opera has been the fastest for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Safari 2.0.3 beats Opera 9's rendering speeds by far on my Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STNG Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Safari 2.0.3 beats Opera 9's rendering speeds by far on my Mac. Only in rendering of CSS. But CSS-standarts support in Opera is better. In other aspects Opera is faster than any Mac browser. + Safari is NOT so customizable and not so functional as Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'd rather have a browser that fits in with Aqua out of the box than spending hours customizing Opera only to end up with something that remotely resembles the Mac OS X user interface. Plus Safari is very lightweight, has much faster launching speeds and does everything I need it to do. So Safari is every bit as functional as Opera is depending on what your criteria are. And sorry, overal Opera just doesn't renders pages as quick as Safari does on my Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STNG Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 So Safari is every bit as functional as Opera is depending on what your criteria are. Opera is more functional compared with Safari in any aspect. This is fact.

.Neo Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Opera is more functional compared with Safari in any aspect. This is fact. No it's not. If you don't use any of those extra features it becomes bloat, a waste of resources and it will start getting in your way: Thus less functional. A fact is that Opera comes with more features than Safari. But apparently you don't understand the difference. http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html I'm not going to repeat myself.
