well, ill write something that probably noone will read, because truth is hard to accept :-)

that silly cometchick browser is only ordinary firefox with bunch of addons within, what makes it even much slower than the original firefox
"CometBird is developed from the source codes of Mozilla FireFox and also follow the source code license of Mozilla."

it is nothing that you can't make by yourself - just install firefox and put those addons there - there it is!!! you've got cometbird!! magic...

only firefox-based browser, that really makes difference is palemoon (maybe flock), which is firefox compiled for newest cpu architecture that makes it a bit faster than original version

for people who can't notice the browser speed difference - connect your PC to at least 20mbit connection (I have 70) and browse the web...if you're surfing on some kind of 1mbit DSL or wifi 20m from you that is connected to GPRS somewhere in a desert, you will not notice the difference even with the mosaic browser...
the greatest difference is when connection speed>>computer speed. when your computer is fast enough and you have slow connection -it's all the same...

this is where i was clearly able to notice that firefox 3.6.* is slower (noticeably) than opera 10.6 or chrome 5...and that is why i switched from firefox to iron (iron has adblock that stops DOWNLOADING ads, not just hiding them (most of them) - it is problem of strict support of chrome for addons; also there's developer tool like firebug built in, that's all i need); iron is clearly faster than my previous browser...i can say my computer is fast enough and my connection is as well, that's why i can compare it

another proof is running some benchmark, for example peackeeper (iron 2x fast as firefox) or dromaeo for javascript (iron 2,7x fast as firefox without addons, i had to disable them (adblock, fxif, firebug) to get more speed)

well, im not saying what browser is the best, im saying just that there really is difference and if youre building web or spending much time on web, you will welcome fast and good browser; and when you install different browser without really comparing it, its only a placebo effect that makes you think "yeah new browser, its super fast!! yes its faster than others!!!" and you refuse to accept that there are faster(im talking ONLY about speed)

i was using firefox since around 0.8 and i feel there like at home, but 3.6 is just "too old" and will be something like IE6 few years ago, so i switched to another, much faster browser for time till firefox 4 is released

Quote from matijapkc :It is faster than any of most popular browsers (MFF, IE, Opera, Google Chrome)

ORLY?

it is clearly based on firefox, not just design copied...so I don't even have to download it to know that its far from opera/chrome...

anyway, i switched from firefox to srware iron - I would like to suggest it to everyone who uses chrome...iron is basically chromium browser, but it has all communications with google servers removed...so its fast chrome without google tracking you...

im waiting for firefox 4 and probably switch back again

and build-in bazooka in each GTR car you can shoot down your opponent with...rocket physics will be so accurate that only core i7 will be capable to calculate it

this 1,5 year development has 2 sides...

-we all know that he's doing the tyre physics alone, that eric is designing the rockingham alone (probably), they have families, they work hard all the day so "we can excuse them if it takes long time, we will be ready when it comes, we will play it again then..." (yes, its like quote)

-on the other hand, we are customers, we payed for something and we would like to have the product ready in time. it is really taking too long, without any communication (yes, there IS something to report) with developers, we just know they are working and that's all...hundreds of people forget about this game, no new cars/tracks in years, no update in years, just some few words how to get new internet connection in britain and how to move from one house to another...getting those people back would require massive update with good advertising...

imho when you're developing something for years and you find your game played by 20 people it must be very disappointing, mainly because LFS has the potencial to become top simulator

there are very few games that are original and worth playing today...portal is definitely one of them, im very curious what engine will be used, but i believe that engine used in portal 2 will be very well optimized like today's source or unreal 3

marijuana is not more harmful than for example alcohol. both when using too much is addictive and damage body and can lead to death.
the truth is, much more people die of alcohol than marijuana.
but still i'm not sure about legalising...besides, the ones who want to use it will is use it wether its legalised or not. i'm for decriminalising it, not legalising - so people who get caught won't go to prison just for one cigarrete...

this is very bad thread, which leads to arguing...
you should try all of these browser for some period of time and choose for yourself.
the fact is that google chrome is currently probably the fastest browser. it is very simple and supports extensions, but not as much as firefox does. it's also very bad controled by user, because its always running some google processes which automatically send and receive data from google server (google it to see what details )

opera is very good, powerful, advanced browser with lots of builtin featuers, so you probably won't need to look for any extensions. is extremely fast and looks pretty good on windows 7. its also very stable and safe browser

firefox is the second most popular browser today, its extremely easy to use, supports lots and lots of extensions for almost everything - download managers, some tools for web developers, weather forecast ,....it's not as fast as opera or chrome (well...while browsing, does someone really notice the difference? ), but it has very good support on the web. also upcoming version 4 will bring website rendering with GPU (what should make it superfast), running addons in different processes, so flash player or quicktime will not crash the whole program anymore. but i think that other browser have this feature already...

internet explorer - avoid it. no comment needed

Quote from oli17 :haha how does that work? unlesstheres a way to dislike with facebook or something and views on facebook don't count

<ot>imho because youtube's database is extremly loaded, the view count is not updated instantly, but once a day for example...it does count, but does not write to database</ot>
