What's shocking is the slowness of Firefox. It seems that it was expressly expressed quietly, but it was not due to mind. But you do not have to think pessimistically. In fact, considering that Mozilla 1.8 alpha 6 which is the last Mozilla is faster than the current Firefox 1.5 series, at least it can be accelerated to the same extent in the future. In addition, the next Firefox 2.x series plans to focus on improving operation, and it seems that performance improvement will be made in the next Firefox 3.x series. Only speed is not everything to decide superiority and inferiority of browser ... and.

However, at that time there is a possibility that Opera is even faster ...

According to the above page, the results are different again on Linux, Mac OS X, etc.
