Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) vs. Firefox 4 vs. Google Chrome 10 vs. Opera 11 vs. Safari 5
Some time ago, TomsHardware has published a nice list of benchmark results for the top 5 web browsers. Unfortunately, they did not test the final version of Firefox 4.
Well, this is no longer the case as the most recent tests now include the following:
Internet Explorer 9
Firefox 4
Google Chrome 10
Opera 11
Safari 5
Startup
Browsers Performance
Hardware Acceleration
HTML5 and WebGL
Memory Usage
Final Results
* This table represents the total amount of wins (1st place, 2nd place, etc.)
Even with the Firefox 4 inclusion, IE9 is still the number one browser, according to TomsHardware tests.
Hail to the King, baby?
Thanks, Blake!

Opera 11.10 RC http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
I remember reading that speed deal improvements for 11.10 are just the beginning.
Have I missed something or they were talking about the future versions of Opera?
from experience (opera) is the best browser on earth

Yeah. One thing wrong with Toms is that the results vary heavily in regards to other sites. Most “enthusiast” avoid that site these days.
PS: Check out toms guide.
There is one problem with two default Opera settings.
Preferences -> Network -> Max connections to a server
Preferences -> Network -> Max total connections
Change those two to 128 and try to lower opera:config#Network|HTTPLoadingDelayedTimeout.
Then go to Youtube or some other “heavy” page and feel the difference
Yes. The other versions had lower values which was better
Thank you.
I have HTTPLoadingDelayedTimeout 0
Max Persistent Connections Server 6
are they good settings ?
dang chrome falling off …ie9 is beast
Not everyone runs Windows 7. How is a browser that runs on only one platform better?
i dont trust toms hardware tests
Why?
as mentioned above they are Bullshit xD. Which is true, do you really think IE is the best browser?
