FireFuck sucks. Often times it has large problems displaying many forums and websites properly, even if it follows the new CSS version. I have only run into about four websites that did not display correctly in Opera, and all of them were designed horribly, so it wouldn't matter to begin with.

I have never experienced any "large" problems displaying anything. I only had a minor bug from the Renegade Forums, which is actually fixed now, and a small displaying problem on the old RenAlert layout. Every other site I've ever visited appears to be percectly fine. This is coming from an AVERAGE FIREFOX USER.

Think i found the first problem with this speed up thing.

When you view something in the PHP manual it continously loads it, i think thats where it keeps making new connections.

Nope, no problems.

Aircraftkiller, I spend my day going from website to website doing nothing, and they all look fine.

No. Seriously. No.

Firefox < Opera

or

Firefox > Opera

Question

Firefox < Opera

I tryed Opera, IMHO it was too complicated for my pee-brain mind.

I'm wondering if you understand, by your post, that the Mathematical sing that you posted ''<'' is actually saying that Opera is better then the Firefox regardless of your opinion?

If you have a problem remembering the sing, were the sing of it's "mouth" is pointed at, is the bigger number, in this case you would want to say "Firefox > Opera" and not "Firefox < Opera".

sibilla6 is also culture.

On the topic, I use Opera, never had a problem with it, it’s free and useful. I don't think Firefox sucks, but Opera is most adequate for me.

Firefox and Opera are both slower than Internet Explorer, but Opera is still slower than Firefox.

The reason why IE loads up quickly is that it is loaded to memory on Windows startup as part of explorer.exe unlike Fox and Opera.

You're insane snipesimo. Opera loads websites ten times faster than Internet Exploder does, and Opera keeps my set of websites opened up each time I load it. So instead of having to open a new page each time, or save a session, I simply load Opera and it has all of the websites I had opened already in the process of loading up so I can view them.

No, Aircraftkiller, you are insane.

And SeaMan, I know that, I am not talking about start-up time, I am talking about page rendering speed.

My proof.

A page rendering test. http://scragz.com/tech/mozilla/test-rendering-time.php

IE - 3.33
Firefox - 3.55
Opera - 3.89

Don't be an idiot. Internet Exploder has always loaded websites noticeably slower than Firefox for me. Besides, those rendering times you showed are so close that it 99% of it is because of your computer speed and connection.

I am not saying the test is perfect, I am not saying the same applies to everyone, ALL I said was that is the way I experience it.

Firefox is a browser.
Mozilla is a different browser.

What are you talking about?

Mozillia Firefox is an internet browser , as Internet explorer is. Firefox is much better than internet explorer though.

Mozilla is the developer. They developed Firefix , Thunderbird and Mozilla Suite. They also have made other small programs.

Firefox is a program.
Mozillia is a software developer.
Glyde is a dumb person.

I hope that clears things up
