RE: IE8 faster than Firefox and Chrome? Hmmm ...

Nope. I have to say Google Chrome is the best.
Without disabling 3rd party extensions, flash
or anything in IE, just starting it up and
using live.com as my homepage takes about 6
seconds. Firefox a little bit faster. But
overall smoothness and processor usage, Google
Chrome is the fastest and uses less. I've
tested all 3 over the course of the past few
months doing many things. Even youtube (and
other namely ...tube sites) and still GC takes
the lead.

IE uses too many things that integrate with the
system that I don't even know what they are for
let alone ever use. I mean, was is research and
discuss? Or all those other things like Web
Clips? I mean I know WHAT they are but I just
need to open a page, look at it, click a link
and go to it. I don't need all kinds of stuff
running in the background. Even when I turn it
all off... then half the websites don't work,
or whatever.

I think the next battle people need to tackle
is the use of flash throughout the entire web.

Only thing I don't like about GC is I can't
disable animations or flash, which if I could,
I would do immediately.

With Firefox, I can at least install a flash
block and if I want to see something in flash,
I just click it and it will play as well as add
a website to always allow flash if I choose.

But for now, GC is by far the best. And I'm
only running it on a 1 gb ram, vista sp1, 1.7
ghz system on a laptop.

Lastly, the password save feature in IE to this day
sucks, it doesn't even remember the password on
Facebook like GC or Firefox does. And I hate that in
IE you have to start typing or click in the box before
it brings up your name and password. In GC or Firefox,
it automatically appears.

That I like.
