The browser fight!

Some browsers are faster than another. I've compared some browsers on a 3 MB connection on a Windows XP SP2. Look at the times below:(in seconds)

Sign in to Google

Internet Explorer 7-1.59

Firefox 2-1.69

Yahoo! Browser 5-1.19

Safari 3-1.02


Sign out of Google

Internet Explorer 7-1.56

Firefox 2-2.48

Yahoo! Browser 5-1.02

Safari 3-0.84


Starting up the Browser

Internet Explorer 7-9.53

Firefox 2-17.07

Yahoo! Browser 5-8.47

Safari 3-2.72


Well...hold your horses! The IE 7 & Firefox 2 both have one toolbar installed on it!

So compare this....

Going from Google to BrainPop

Internet Explorer 7-10.44

Safari 3-10.67


Going from BrainPop to Sparktop

Internet Explorer 7-2.59

Look how much closer the other browser are to Safari! You see the difference?
