Browser speed test

[Nockm]

So I can't state my opinion now, without someone pulling their own leg? Geez..

Feel free to, just don't act holier than thou.

Don't know what you mean about the 'pulling their own leg' thingy though... over here, to say you are 'pulling someone's leg' is to mean you are kidding/lying to them.

FireFox is actually about 50 times faster than any of those browsers, simply by tweaking it as follows:

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit 'Enter'.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining " to "true" by 'Double-Clicking' that line.

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining " to "true" by double-clicking that line.

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests " to some number like "30". This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly 'Right-Click' anywhere and select 'New' --> 'Integer'. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

There you go bras'

I would think that you know that I can act alright, it doesn't hurt once in a while to say something like owned or etc. In fact that was exactly what I thought, but I guess I'm not too familiar with most of you that you can take my kind of "jokes". It was not like I was assuming that you are children. But I guess it hited your soft spot, since you might like using FF or some other broswer. I'm sorry if my words offended you.

Tbh, I don't know what you mean with -> "act holier than thou".

And that pulling their own leg, more of a twisted message. You don't need to know what it means, but its a mean as you saying "someone shot this guy".

For everyone attempting to use this as support for their best brower argument, you might want to consider that speed is only one attribute to be weighed with others. If you added up every second you saved using (for example) IE over another, would that make up for the glaring security holes that fuck you over and force you to reformat?

Ignoring the plugins, security, asthetic, ease of use, and resource usage factors as this does review does, it also fails to test loading from differnt sources (cached, NT servers, non-NT servers), and ever more importantly, correct rendering. In most cases, Mozila browsers might load pages a watch tick slower, but they also render display and client side scripts accuratly. If all you really care about is speed, use lynx.

Just downloaded Opera and did a benchmark. Took firefox 23 seconds and Opera 10 seconds. It's a shame Opera isn't free.

[Mulkero]

Btw is there a plugin for Opera that is similar to Firefox's Adblock?

[aptevaded]

Mulkero stop being dumb, FF is still a lot faster than Opera, simply if you use the pipelining options listed above.

[King Baba]

You people sound retarded. Who cares, if the computer works don't bitch.

I had done it already a long time ago.

All that pipelining affects how quickly WEBPAGES load. I'm not interested in that, most pages load in a blink of an eye for me. I want a browser that doesn't take a year to launch. And THAT'S what I said this topic is about.

[tahkis]

At least my firefox launches in a blink of an eye.

[Jester]

I have both Opera v8.0 and Firefox installed.
I would say I use Opera 99.9% of the time, the 0.1% is when
Im drunk and click on the wrong shortcut.

You need to preload it into memory or something like that. THere was a thread about it before in the mozilla forums.

Well I guess I'm sticking to Firefox since no one knows a adblocker for Opera. Not even my friend who has used Opera for some time. He says he's gotten used to ads.
