Takes ages to boot, takes ages to render anything. Of course, on Windows, MSIE is faster than Firefox since it&#39;s more or less embedded in the OS and &quot;loaded in memory&quot;, but surprisingly enough, Firefox is also outperformed by most browsers on Linux. For some reason I&#39;ve always thought it was faster on Linux.<br \/>\nThe most surprising results, to me, are how Opera browsers perform : quickest browsers on almost every test.<\/p>\n<p>On the Mac platform, Safari seems to be doing very well. I&#39;ve never had a chance to test this browser yet, but given these tests and what I can read about its standard compliancy, this makes me wish they had a Windows version for me to play with&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, speed is not everything and there are many more criteria to judge a browser from : security, usability, web standards support, developping community, etc&#8230; But this makes a very insteresting read anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[71,3,72,128,13,74],"class_list":["post-446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-firefox","tag-linux","tag-msie","tag-opera","tag-software","tag-stats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
