Sheesh!!! the 2.3% of you are the most vocal hey

There, added Opera 9.51.

896 pts Opera 9.51 (10081) - http://mybroadband.co.za/photos/showphoto.php/photo/11088

Sorry, no Opera 10 beta 1 ... it keeps stalling on the third "canvas" render on screen 3/6.

My browser preference:

1. Firefox (from a developer point of view it's my favourite as well, I do however hate the memory usage of FF...)
2. Opera

I don't like IE, Safari or Chrome.

My results:

Opera(v9.64) Scored: 612 Points
Firefox(v3.0.11) Scored: 587 Points
Internet Explorer(v8.0) Scored: 329 Points

I'm running it on my Laptop Centrino M, 1 Gig Ram, Windows 7 RC 1.

OK this is Opera 10 beta:
1523 Points
Firefox 3.5 beta:
1494 Points
on my Ubuntu system.

But on that site the browser benchmark pattern is...
Safari 4 #1st
Chrome #2nd
Opera10b#3rd
Firefox 3.5b #4th

Everyones results will vary because of their computer specs and from my benchmark it puts Chrome miles ahead off FF3 and IE

Benchmark Results

Basically all tests are null and void as every pc is different. I use chrome because for me it is a lot faster than FF(with no addons), and i would rather have performance over memory-sucking addons with little or no benefit to me.

Yeah... things are not all equal in this one..

I ran this through IE8 and got 898 points.

Will download Safari 4 and see....

Yay. It's the fastest browser. Rendering-wise that is. What does that translate to? A couple of extra seconds in my day? Apple is great at hyping a single feature. That said, the Acid compliance is a bigger plus for me as a web developer. I'll back any browser that sides with compliance.

I agree with other posts on Firefox. Nothing compares from a plugin and dev point of view. And where I may lose milliseconds on rendering, I make that up far more in additional functionality. I run Chrome to search (great tabbing search field) and browse, Firefox to dev (unmatched dom and dev tools), IE to bank (come on banks, is it that hard to develop a cross-platform banking website?), Safari and IE 6 - 8 for testing.

Coverflow... pretty, but I'm sure I'd use it for a day and return to conventional navigation, as some posts have already said. As a proportion of my overall experience, I use my browser as a search and reference tool, I very rarely use my history, and when I need to, it's because I can't remember what the page was called or looked like. Facebook, twitter, RSS, flickr, gmail are increasingly happening outside of the browser these days.

That's the whole point of the site: to benchmark your browsers on your own machine ... it is a BROWSER benchmark, not a machine benchmark.

I said it before: it's a browser benchmark, not a system benchmark. It's the first that truly is ... equal (for comparing your browsers on your machine.)
