    The difference between MOzilla and Firefox is about 30-40% so why not...

    I use "the fastest browser on earth".
    But it may be "the most memory-hungry browser" too.

    Well, Flock still hasn't had a formal end user release, only developer previews. Maybe that's the reason?
    Besides, the homepage of Flock scares me.

    Re: fastest browser test

    You will probably not believe me when I say that they just redesigned it a month or two ago......it looks like a 14 year old has made it now, but it looked like a 10 year old had made the last one...so I guess it is an improvment.. At least I am using it now...and it looks like it has potential, and I managed to get the vBulleting extension we made for Fx work in it too...so all is good so far...

    It's a cheap rip-off of Firefox with a load of useless extra bloat.

    Re: fastest browser test

    As far as speed is concerned I am not too bothered; I use Firefox 1.5 and don't have any issues with speed.

    My choice came down to the fact that Firefox has more extensions than a blonde and I find the ones which help with web devleopment very useful. I don't need IDEs to help me make my sites, I just need a good text editor and Firefox
    PHP || MySql || Apache || Get Firefox || OpenOffice.org || Click || Slap ILMV || 1337 c0d || GotoMyPc For FREE! Part 1, Part 2

    | PHP Session --> Database Handler * Custom Error Handler * Installing PHP * HTML Form Handler * PHP 5 OOP * Using XML * Ajax * Xslt | VB6 Winsock - HTTP POST / GET * Winsock - HTTP File Upload

    Re: fastest browser test

    Yes.. The back and forth thingy is speeded up in Fx 1.5 compared to 1.0.7, but it is still not as fast. The current version of Flock is based on 1.0.7 though. But the late january release will be based on 1.5. So then it will be more interesting to compare.

    But then again. I remeber that Firebird 0.6 was a bit lighter and handier then Fx 1.0 too though, so it might happen that Flock get just as "bloated" when we get there in the end...
