The trouble with speed tests is they are done on the testers' computers, unfortunately each of us uses our own computers. If there is anything that is apparent from these browser war pages it is that different users have different experiences and each makes their choice on which works best for them. Chrome is fast on…
One way round is to make the first line of your short comment a bunch of Xs like this
It's horses-for courses. whether he opens shitloads of tabs or not is immaterial; that's how he uses his browser and if Chrome's too slow then he has others to choose from.
+1, oh go on then... +2
Yeah, who needs a toolbar to get your private info? Extensions do it so much better and what's more, everyone thinks they're great. Written by amateurs after school in their bedrooms, tested for compatibility who the f**k knows where, no check made by browsers prior to installation. The reason incognito mode disables…

Yes and no. Stepping back, I really don't give a rat's ass if someone blindly follows the crowd and chooses to have their opinions formed by others, but I am alarmed by the number of people in such a small sample as Giz readership that would willingly tamper with a relative's or friend's computer in order to stamp…
Have I overlooked Giz's coverage of this? [www.bbc.co.uk]
Yeah! When people complain that IE tried to own the internet with its specific commands or syntax I just remind them that AJAX and innerhtml owe their existence to just such a thing.
It's easier to hit the stop button, after all while I'm staring at the screen waiting for the page to load I may as well poke something to vent my frustration.
One thing which does work in the default android browser on most sites which are slow to load like lifehacker or which have huge flash ads which block content, again like lifehacker is simply to hit the stop button once the content has downloaded and before the chaff starts flooding in. I do this on a lot of sites and…
I've not really tried IE10 simply because I don't have W8 on any machine. What I'm waiting for is the rewritten JS engine for IE9-64. It's been put back again but the rumors about its speed are hard to ignore.
Dishonest.
I know the general tone of this article is 'Humor' but come on... what gives you the right to subvert the choice of others, and how would you feel if this was done to you for example when you are clicking on what you thing is a link to your bank's site you are actually being directed to a phishing page? Is there any…
So... are you not to be found trustworthy in real life too?
No, you're wrong. People criticize IE9 without even trying it. I have instances of people saying "IE is no good because it doesn't have adblock" or "it doesn't have a 'Paste and Go' feature" for example. It has both of these but the general consensus is that it doesn't, so people go along with it. I recently disputed…

There's nothing wrong with IE9. If you believe there is you're just as gullible as everyone else. I'm all for browser choice; you choose Firefox, the guy back there likes Chrome, I like IE9. Making not very well thought out comments about the most secure browser available and the one most integrated with the platform…
