Post Fastest browser on Earth

The Opera Software company claims that Opera is "the fastest browser on Earth.One set of third-party speed tests concluded that Opera 9.5 was indeed faster than Internet Explorer 7 and prerelease versions of Firefox 3 and Safari 3.

However, technology website ZDNet's speed tests showed that out of Internet Explorer 7, Safari 3, and pre-release versions of Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5, the only browser that Opera clearly outperformed was Internet Explorer.

IE 7 is so slow compared to Firefox. I don't really like Opera. How is the new Google browser. Any try it yet?

I have got chrome, firefox, opera and explorer with their latest versions on my pc. My verdict: chrome runs the fastest on my computer. Maybe some of you would agree to it.

I downloaded Chrome yesterday. Boy it was never that fast in beta. I like its simplicity too, which is one of the reasons why i liked IE7. I think i've found my new web browser

From what I understand, the fastest browser for the Mac is Safari; the fastest for Windows is basically a tossup between Firefox 3.1 (beta), Opera 10 (alpha), and Google Chrome, with Opera having the slight edge.
