The browser battle

[Rapchik Killer]

Most of the people here keep falling over for opera, so heres a proper benchmark done for all 5 of the top browsers (including opera 10.5)

BTW if you dont want to go into reading the entire article this should be enough of a hint:

Chrome rules! We all know that (1)

Google Chrome nevertheless has the potential to conquer the browsing market !
And with the addition of userscripts and extensions - it seriously make the browsing experience awesome ~

On the other hand, Opera is also doing just great and with their improved Javascript engine - You know what I mean

So, for me , Opera for now - My 512mb Ram can't handle Firefox with 5 tabs whereas I can now open 10 tabs atm on Opera
I will surely try Chrome , but later

I thin you people read the review the carefully, the reviewer himself use chrome for regular use and use firefox for official use.

 

[eViLrAcEr]

I don't need a benchmark to tell me which browser is better for me

btw, I use FF as my main browser with Chrome at 2nd and Opera 3rd

 

[fawad]

I use Firefox for flash apps as safari can't handle it very well any idea about opera, is it good?

Why being hesitant to try it ........ http://www.opera-usb.com/

FF is the best
When i comes to customising your browsing needs than its always the addons for FF
No need to installing any other third party softwares for add blocking and this or that, simply get the addons for your FF
And yes Chrome is FAST , personally used it.

 

[Jigger]

Chrome is really fast and light..but FF has the best addons and customization...

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

Chrome all the way.
Firefox has too many bugs + its really slow.

 

[shujaswati]

Just shift to opera.....nothing different....feels just like a chrome with an O in the tab ...

 

[abobobilly]

Chrome and Opera are atleast working better than FireFox lolz

On the serious part ... I dont consider these benchmarkings a Real Test for these browsers. Everyone knows that Chrome is the fastest. Opera recently launched 10.5 which is no different than Chrome in Performance. Who knows if FireFox 3.7 will cross all winners.
I am currently using Opera 10.5, Chrome 4.xx, IE8 x64 (without Flash Support - I use Chrome for handling online video streaming), FireFox 3.6 ... Personally felt Opera and Chrome better than all available. I consider IE8 x64 on 3rd number, considering it still do perform fast enough for regular browsing. FireFox only when i need some addons' work.

Just let me know if i can transfer my whole list of 700+ bookmarks to chrome then im ready to shift , coz chrome is really fast , just tested it out

[Umair Naeem]

chrome is the best for youtube videos

 

[nafu]

chrome has better features and also very best in speedd as compared to IE. and now m using opera most coz it has more better features and very sharp in speedd too. chrome and opera are the best browsers in all terms.

 

[ASKnASK]

These reviews suck.

I remember when I had a P3, Firefox was extremely slow on it when I opened multiple tabs.
Opera was much faster, eating lesser memory.

Same experience is reported by a PGer here (^).

Now look at their tests. It says Firefox uses the least memory. Bullcrap.

Just to check, I did a small test on my own just now.

4 x PG Tabs (same pages)
1 x Tom's Review (same page)

Here's the task manager screen-shot

Exactly! Firefox has been a memory hogger since ver2 and apparantly ff 3 was suppose to fix that but I couldn't see the difference. Its still a freakin memory hog!

I really don't see the feel to use multiple browsers, opera does it all for me. Using it for nearly 5 years!

 

[Umair Naeem]

^^^^^^^^^^Chrome also use alot of memory and cpu but still its faster

 

[YanZZah]

its good to see some benchiez here for some of the popular browsers ppl are using nowadays. used the opera v10.5 and it's still not as fast as Chrome. though i am using Flock browser having a similar platform like Mozilla Fire Fox but it seems im enjoying more using Flock then Firefox....as its comparably faster then FF and Opera. may be this is due to sticking to Flock more often then any other browsers. From Safari, FF, Opera, Maxthon, IE to Chrome ... Flock seems to be the best .. 80,000k Memory utilization approx.
