News - Google Chrome races out of beta

[TheAnimus]

Whilst Firefox IS slow, there's a degree of "cheating" going on here - much of IE is loaded to memory by running any app with embedded HTML (such as, oh I dunno, Outlook, or Windows Explorer)

Its still easy to see how slow FF is.

Open one instance of FF + IE.

Open a second......

Its still slow, the Private Bytes usage isn't that high, so its not a case of it been cheated by having IE already in memory.

Its just slow.

Oh, it IS slow, but IE has some ways to seem fast

Whether it's cheating or not doesn't matter to me.
The result is that IE is much faster. That's all that counts.

If either IE or Chrome had the Foxmarks (or equivalent) gadget I'd have stopped using FF ages ago.
