There are battles between different browsers for a long time now and it all began when netscape and microsoft started the war;) First is now almost forgotten and the second one survived and is today fighting mostly with Mozilla, Firefox and Opera.
Each of those has many fans which will say that his browser is the best! But WHICH IS REALLY THE BEST???

On the page HowToCreate they tried to answer that question as they were comparing the most popular browsers for Linux (Firefox, Mozilla, Konqeror, Opera, Epiphany), Mac OS X (Safari, Opera, OmniWeb, IE, iCab, Firefox, Camino) and Windows (Avant, Escape, Clue, Firefox, IE, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape). They were comparing "coldstart", "warmstart" and the speed of CSS rendering, pictures, scripts and history...

Results are here: Not a single browser is as good as OPERA which is THE FASTEST BROWSER at the moment and is the most apropriate for every platform.

YOU DONT BELIEVE?

Its hard to believe ....feel free to comment

Hi heavensounds,
True, Opera IS the fastest browser due to smallest "footprint" (ie. compactness of code) & stripped down "features".
Just 2 cents worth.

i like opera too, but anybody explain me why if i check my email to gmail, the website says that my browser is not compatible with the site?? after i sign in, the structure of the site is sometimes mess up...

huh, you didn't know that?*

*myself i think that IE is somewhat faster than others (but not better anyways)

I think same. Internet Explorer is fastest because is loaded with Windows. When you start Internet Explorer (click on blue E), only IE window will load.

   Google Chrome is a new browser from google. The design is sleek , everything loads really quickly
   and everything is functional. QUOTE At Google, we spend much of our time working inside a
   browser. Like all of you, we search, shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends - all

   things never imagined when the web first appeared about 15 years ago. Since we spend so much time

3. Apple Makes Everything Safari

   Pros and Cons of Safari Web Browser (8)

   Not quite a "safari" tool - safari comes from the Persian word "safari" means "something suitable to
   use for a traveler" - with its size three times more than the last version of Mozilla FireFox, it
   promises a "clean look" and also "no more concentration on the browser but on the web itself"! The
   look and feel of Safari web browser is not what you expect from Apple but it has a taste of
   Apple's previous hits like Quick Time with clean outlines and easy-to-use look. The progress
   bar is integrated at the top with the address bar, a bit confusing and new, but still e....

   I came across this browser by a fluke chance when I was checking out articles at PC World, and from
   what I remember from the article this is a very big name browser in Japan and they wanted to expand
   it to the international market. What really caught my eye is that they want to get 5% of the
   international market in the browser wars in the next couple of years. To give a background story to
   this browser, it was developed in 2005 in both English and Japanese and after 3 years it gain some
   popularity in the international community and so now they are trying to enter thems....

   best known for adding functionality and ease-of-use options to the end user. While the browser
   itself handles basic browsing navigation (Back, Stop, Reload, etc) using its own toolbars, external

10. Firefox 3 Sucks - Time For Another Browser

    (81)

    No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
    having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
    everytime I type a new address. Plus the slide out is huge now making the whole thing feel t....

    browser goes crazy like IE7) 3)Firefox 2.0.0.3: 1 medium risk (i think some plugin might have caused
