The New Tech - View Single Post - Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 as Fastest Browser

**APK** · 12:27pm

Heck yea!

It's truth, & has been, for QUITE a while & STILL IS!

In fact?

See these URL's, for more backing/substantiating proof thereof in fact:

----

BROWSER SPEED COMPARISONS ACROSS MULTIPLE OS PLATFORMS:

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html

----

Opera 9.50 also 'outshines-the-competition' as well in JavaScript processing speeds:

----

* NOW, supposedly? FF3 has made HUGE strides here (javascript parsing & processing speeds, lately, & MAY be faster than Opera 9.27, but I am guessing NOT SO on latest newly released FINAL Opera 9.50, which this post is about (while it was in beta that is))...

APK

P.S.=> Security-wise though (in a check of which browser bears the LEAST known security holes)?

Opera wins, hands-down, NO CONTEST!

WEB-BROWSER PROGRAM KNOWN SECURITY ISSUES & UNPATCHED ONES BY PERCENTAGES BY SECUNIA.COM (data from 06/16/2008):

----

Opera 9.27 + 9.50 security advisories @ SECUNIA (0% unpatched):

http://secunia.com/product/10615/?task=advisories

----

FireFox 2.0.0.14 security advisories @ SECUNIA (13% unpatched):

http://secunia.com/product/12434/

----

IE 7 (latest cumulative update from MS) security advisories @ SECUNIA (32% unpatched):

http://secunia.com/product/12366/

----

Those %'s are the latest for:

FireFox 2.0.0.14

IE7 after last "patch Tuesday" from MS with the "CUMULATIVE IE UPDATES" they have (see the security downloads URL I post in the 12 steps above to secure yourself)

& Opera 9.27

... all latest/greatest models.

So, as you can see?

Well, NOT ONLY IS OPERA MORE SECURE/BEARING LESS SECURITY VULNERABILITIES? It's faster too, on just about ANYTHING a browser does, & is probably the MOST standards compliant browser under the sun (not counting HTML dev tools) in it having passed ACID2/3 (one of them before ANYONE, iirc, the latter newer test in fact)... apk
