Browsers, which is the best? Firefox!

Firefox 3.6 + Bob Marley Persona

So, everyone uses the internet these days... Well, anyone who's viewing this. We're all on different connections though, WiFi, 3G, Satellite and broadband. Each connection has it's own speed, depending on your location, company, and package.. Yet, you might not be able to get all these services at your location. However, I've had experience with numerous connections and have been able to test the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 8
• Google Chrome
• Apple's Safari
• Opera
• Flock
• Mozilla Firefox

I've tested all these browsers between dial-up and basic high-speed, as originally we had dial-up and now we have the basic high-speed with a WiFi enabled connection. So, when it comes to internet browsing, your PC's hardware doesn't contribute a whole lot to the actual loading and usage of pages, it's more your connection, hardware might come into play a minor bit when it comes into rendering the page and flash and other plug-ins.

Time to get down to business, here is two reviews, one based on dial-up and another bases on high-speed.

Firefox on dial-up? There was an amazing speed gain with Firefox. It would load pages so much faster, and render the images probably 3X as fast if you've already viewed the web-page in the past. It properly displays text boxes, widgets, links e.t.c... Something not all browsers do. As for video and flash, or other interactive speed crunching activities, well, forget it, no matter what browser you use, your not gonna get this done on dial-up... But I loaded a brief 30 second video on YouTube, about 1Min13Sec faster then on Internet Explorer.

Firefox on high-speed? You still notice a difference! Internet Explorer lags a bit, especially in tab mode and it takes longer to render the pages and their images along with it's full potential. However, Firefox loads them all zoom-zoom, kinda like a Mazda, and there is no lag at all, and widgets, drop down menus, text boxes and all other media loads perfectly fine.

So that's my little comparison on speed, I didn't focus on other browsers as they were the same concept. In my opinion, Firefox takes the cake! The thing that seals the deal would be it's Persona's.. As you can see, I have a Bob Marley persona above with my tabs open.
