| subject: | Re: Anyone compared FireFox speed on Windows and Linux? |
From: "John Beamish" If you're mostly interested in speed, try Opera for Linux. It leaves Firefox and IE (haven't tried IE7) in the dust. Of course, you'll also get an Acid2 compliant browser, too, but that's the bonus. http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?custom=yes (PS: Don - there's an OS/2 version you can try, too! ;->) On Sat, 22 Jul 2006 15:16:41 -0400, Randall Parker wrote: > To make it really apples to apples I think we need a zipped up folder of > some big complex HTML files.
