This is interesting. I should be out the door soon, so this won't get polished very well.
I've been a big fan of Firefox, but I've been playing with Google Chrome because it is supposed to be faster and have better security. I use WildBlue as my ISP. (We won't go there this morning)
Opening both browsers and going to the same pages one after the other Firefox is loading in 6-8 seconds. Chrome is loading in 7-9 seconds. This is not fully loaded, with ads and facebook and twitte and such, but "usable"
I find this odd because my perception the last few days using both browsers has been Chrome is faster. I don't know if it is just perception, or just this site, or just WildBlue in the morning.
Anyone else tried comparing browsers?
EDIT: After posting this I decided to try the same thing on another site. So I went to AgTalk and did it again. Over there Chrome consistently beat Firefox, taking 2-5 seconds per page compared to 3-7 seconds for Firefox. I guess I need to try different sites at different times and record everything. But not now, gotta see if I can plant some more beans.
Later Y'all
