Faster Browser
Is it Firefox? Is it Internet Explorer? Or …. Netscape?
Nope. The answer lies is the Opera. Taken from the site here, they have run a test and shows that the Opera runs faster and slightly worth to be considered as a contender for the browser market. Ehm…
Opera claims that the latest version is faster than ever before, and our experience bears this out. When running various JavaScript speed tests, Opera 9.5 scored slightly higher (281ms) than the previous released version, 9.23 (546ms). And Opera 9.x, let it be known, smacks silly the likes of Firefox and Internet Explorer, which tend to have results in the 900-1500ms range on this test machine (a 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM). Opera was 50 percent faster on average than Firefox, and 100 percent faster than IE7 on Windows Vista, for instance. (In all versions, the speed of the test depends on how many tabs are open, so your results may vary. In our experience, Opera always came out on top.)
The only person I recently find is a big fan of Opera is none other than mr. Linpeh himself. He is my tester for new theme. Anything that we need to ensure that the user experience on the design as well as the presentation, he is the one and only person I can talk to regarding the feedback from using the Opera.
Opera anyone? It’s not free tho’ and I hate to use it when there’s free ads. :/
