Calum:
wow! you've got me convinced!
a bunch of random looking numbers eh?
Im-Pre-Sive.
Notice you compare netscape and iexplore, what about mozilla and opera?
what are the random numbers for them please?
Plus, anybody notice how there are a lot of different factors involved in internet browsing speed?
'phone lines being a good one, the choice of pages viewed being another, whether or not how many graphics are loaded, the list goes on.
Any comparison between browsers approaches a joke due to the lack of a decent control situation by the benchmarker.
Most test situations are done to prove one is better than the other anyway, rather than for true comparison's sake.
Anybody want to post a few random numbers that prove netscape is better?
psyjax:
I used Opera on my Mac, a nice browser. I found that it didn't load some pages correctly and it's plug-in support was not to hot.
Crt+Alt+Del, what the hell is that crap supposed to prove? Mozilla performs better than both IE and Netscape combined, furthermore, Id rather have a page load corectly and more slowly.
IE is constantly reporting MRJ errors in M$'s bid to destroy sun java.
Try Mozilla, you will never go back.
Calum:
well opera has that thing where it can identify as IE, mozilla or opera, which might be worth a try if a page doesn't load up properly (as you'll get customised html from some sites depending on what browser you are)
and also, i've noticed that a lot of IE plugins and Netscape plugins work in Opera if you just drag and drop a duplicate of them into the Opera plugins folder.
totally triffic!
Macman:
Wow you ran three tests? It must be true then, even though those "random numbers" are just that
Macman:
Internet Explorer:
438579.54672.3245.67.43134.643
Netscape
3902091.14514.14.5.1113241.
There, I've proven that Netscape is faster.
