1. Testing items and results
Startup Speed
We tested the startup speed to see how much time takes when a browser start to work. No plug-ins will be available except standard testing installation. Blank page is the startup page. We count an average time in three tests.

Here they are after quite, after the storm, browser marketing shown us a contention war of eye balls.

Besides, excellent safety and stability inside, Firefox still obtains a majority of skillers with professional computer technology. Similarly, Opera based on Presto with a long developing history could be survived in such a fierce competition, majorly attribute to its unfailing speediness, efficiency and stability.

Meantime, the statistical data from 2008 annual statistical data from Net Applications concluded, Internet Explorer even occupied total 70% of browsing market (including IE6, IE7, IE8 and browsers from the third-party developers based on IE).

- User interface, including standard interface, enabled browsing skin and other humanity design.
- Running speed: startup and page load speed.
- Resource occupation: memory and CPU share condition in different applications.

We will analyze them good and bad in an all-sided manner. Read the rest of this entry »
