Google Chrome and Firefox Speeds Blow Past IE and Opera!

Google Chrome and Firefox Speeds Blow Past IE and Opera!

Author JoeDigital

This is not going to be a surprise to users of the browsers, but a recent ZDNet test has finally laid the debate to rest. When it comes to speed, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox blow the proprietary competition away.

The ZDNet Test is based on industry standards for javascript. It was performed using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1, Opera 10.00 Alpha,
Firefox 3.1b1, Chrome 2.0.158.0, and the WebKit r40220 developer
project included in Chrome and Apple’s Safari.

Microsoft IE 8 RC1 and Safari were left far behind in th tests, with Google and Firefox running neck and neck. The implication are obvious: Proprietary browser manufacturers ned to get on the ball, stop trying to driv ethe market, and give people what they want in a browser. Hope for MS IE8 had been high, but it’s performance is fr from the spped promised at its beta release. We can only hope that the final releae will show some improvement.
