Opera Turbo sucks as well, lol. I had it on all the time but didn't make much difference. Google Chrome FTW. It loads all the elements as soon as the page starts loading. Opera does it one element at a time and hence is slow on slow networks.

Google Chrome is just as slow on slow networks. Its obvious that it can't load the elements before the whole page has arrived from the server..

Oh yeah, I remember reading about that. They had gotten sued because they basically had total control over the operating system market, and were also gaining in the productivity software side, so they were forced to pay a lot of dough :lol:

Using chrome right now.. But, I agree with the following picture:

I've used Firefox, Opera and Chrome.
Chrome, just very fast, but really, that's about it.
Also, with flash, chrome isn't always very stable; although that has improved a lot since the latest updates.

I understand why companies make new browsers, but, if some company wanted customers, what it should do, is look at the user feedbacks.

The major problem with Opera and Firefox is that they don't support multi-process and they have slow start-up speed.

The major problem with Safari is that they don't support multi-process.

The major problem with Chrome is that it sometimes crashes when there is flash in the page

And the major problem with Internet Explorer is that it exists :lol:

Indeed, but I would say Chrome is a little more than just fast. It's also great at sandboxing pages and scripts so that you can isolate a frozen webpage or script, while still using the rest of the browser.

It's also great how minimalistic it is. No fancy buttons, no toolbars, just navigation buttons and one text field for both search and navigation :)

Opera sucks, for me at least. Best test that I've tried yet is this:

Try to open Yahoo! Mail first in Opera and then in Google Chrome.
Try searching for something in ebay.com first in Opera and then Chrome.

You'll see for yourself which ones faster/better.

This test (not really a test, lol) shows better results on a slow network.
Personally i like Opera best, i have nothing against other browsers though.
You probably use chrome a lot, did you clean chrome's cache?

Opera have the best speed dial

I used to use Chrome but it often crashes when flash appears (the whole browser crashes, happens often - i've tried to update flash it says chrome always has the newest)

On topic: If Windows starts to block software i will buy a mac.

I didn't include addons because it's expected in a decent browser.

Speed dial addons.
