I am not surprised that IE came out last in the tests. You would think that with all the developers and programmers who are working for Microsoft that they could develop a faster web browser.

I heard that IE 8 is not as bad as the previous versions. Haven't tried it yet myself though.

According to my experience IE 6 is the fastest web browser so far. I will be really shocked if you guys dont agree.

I have Firefox 3.1 and I love it. It surfs the internet quickly and I don't have as much problems with coming into contact with viruses as often as with microsoft internet explorer. I haven't tried google chrome as of yet nor any of the other browsers. I've been a die hard fan of Firefox since switching from explorer.
