War of the Browsers
With Google entering the battle, it has moved to the next level. Before the start of the month, Firefox was defending its throne by modest competitors IE by microsoft and Safari by apple.
Now, the war is about speed. Who is the fastest? One, way of measuring speed is by the time each takes to load JavaScript. Google Chrome uses V8 JavaScript engine, which is considered to be fastest till date. Here is the CNET results, in which Chrome is ahead big time.
But, Firefox did not stay as a mere spectator with all this hype Chrome is getting over its speed. Firefox is ready to fight Chrome with its new JavaSript engine TraceMonkey. It is likely to be available with Firefox next release 3.1. JavaScript and Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich wrote in his blog entry “We win by 1.28x and 1.19x, respectively. Maybe we should rename TraceMonkey “V10″ 
”. The results released by Brendan Eich, just shows that the war is going to become much intense in the time to come.
One thing for sure, we as a user will be benefited by the battle in any case. Lets see who emerges victorious.
Well. Nice post. I am staying with firefox for now.
rite choice for now, but lets see google with its reputation might prove as tough competitor
As of now i prefer firefox…i dont knw if any1 has noticed so not there r some bugs wid chrome..one of thm being it gets stuck on some sites, and takes up all the comp. resourse…e.g try openin the flash application(s) in facebook…the browser is bound the hang…bt overall chrome is quite gud…bt only time will tell who “wins” this “war”…
I like Firefox been using it for a few years now – I do a volunteer blog for a local school in Belize, I use Safari for that, so glad to have traded in IE.
I use Opera. Its faster, safer and customizable. Now getting hooked up to Google Chrome, but not as addictive as Opera.
