Which is the fastest browser in your opinion, among those you've tried using? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. I_LUV_U (979)   ranked 102 out of 15,200 in internet1 year ago

I've used five broswers in my life thus far. Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and....guess what? The fifth one? Nah, not Netscape or Safari; it's Real Player!! I was surprised to discover that the real player could even be used for a web browsing tool. I did surf with it for sometime and it was actually strangely amusing to browse from a media player. However, I quit it soon as I don't reckon it to be nearly half as secure as e.g. Firefox.

Coming back to the topic, which is the fastest browser in your opinion, among the ones you've tried so far?

Let me share my experiences, starting from the worst (w.r.t browsing speed of course). The worst I encountered was Internet explorer 6.0 - I was so fed up with the sluggishness of this edition that I developed a kind of aversion towards I.E. And so, I didn't upgrade to the later versions of IE. Firefox was great, exciting with its wide array of add-ons - but it's speed relatively bothered me since I had already used Opera which was undoubtedly faster than firefox. But ever since they came up with their third edition, the current one - I'm full praises for them. They have successfully emulated Opera providing for a faster surfing experience. Meanwhile, Google tossed in their own new broswer, chrome, which I feel still has a long way to flank the likes of Firefox and Opera. I find chrome a bit quirky - I suspect it's a victim of MPD; while it can zestfully drag some very sophisticated sites at your feet within a fleeting second, it knows to bear as well a bitter indifference to some of the simpler ones.

So, what has been your fastest browser? And what broswer have you been currently lingering over? For basically what reasons? Do share your experiences!

I just use Internet Explorer, average security average speed. No need for advanced or anything.

Yup, Firefox rocks! I haven't tried AOL as yet. In fact, I was ignorant about it till I read your response - now I shall start my AOL exploration.

I have always used internet explorer as my web browser. I tried firfox but it made my computer go slow. Internet explorer is the best one for me.


myLot reputation of 91/100. I_LUV_U (979)   ranked 102 out of 15,200 in internet  1 year ago

I think increasing your RAM could be the solution, in case you wish to have access to both.

opera 8 is the fastest browser but multimedia support is less on opera and the second one is firefox 1.5 it also support multimedia editing of mails.


myLot reputation of 91/100. I_LUV_U (979)   ranked 102 out of 15,200 in internet  1 year ago

You may upgrade to the latest Opera 9 version, it has the speed-dial feature!

Hi, I think that the best browser that I've ever use was Firefox, without a doubt.. For years I've been using IE but I realize that that was a bad choice, then I change to Opera because I was used to surf with my mobile with opera mini, but a friend from the university recommend me Firefox, and after that I haven't change it for any other browser.. I've tested google chrome but after I read that it's still a beta I don't use it anymore.. I haven't tested yet the browser from real player, maybe later I will


myLot reputation of 91/100. I_LUV_U (979)   ranked 102 out of 15,200 in internet  1 year ago

Yup, I like Firefox quite a lot too - the Add-ons are awesome. Do you use their Add-ons?


myLot reputation of 77/100. Anchopy (1046)   ranked 2,145 out of 15,200 in internet  1 year ago

of course that I use addons! that's the amazing about firefox.. I can install and use addons for improve almost anything related to web surfing!

I like Google Chrome a lot! It has a great speed, and works on my computer! It does have a little bit of a way to go and could use some add-ons. It's secure though, and goes really fast! A lot faster than internet explorer and doesn't have as many glitches or bugs as IE 7. Although IE 8 Beta is pretty good, and works fast; it's still not that great!


myLot reputation of 91/100. I_LUV_U (979)   ranked 102 out of 15,200 in internet  1 year ago

Chrome looked very empty...I've tried it. Google needs to work a long way on chrome to make it even nearly as good as Firefox!


myLot reputation of 86/100. HOW2DO (113)  1 year ago

yes I like it but Google Chrome have to add some facilities to overcome the performance of other browsers.I think Google Chrome's new version will launch soon.

I've only really used internet explorer and mozilla firefox on this computer. I think firefox is better in just about every way... speed being one of those ways.

Speed and safety are probably the main things I look for, firefox I think provides the best combination of the two happy.

I agree that IE is just plain wrong. Maybe it's just me, but Firefox is starting to act up and become sluggish to me. I'm now using Flock which is a social browser but is working out for me so far.
