I don't know what that test proves if it works, but IE7 failed spectacularly! Laughing

FF3 got a 71

I used IE7 because it isn't a RAMHOG and I've never had a reason to switch.

Wow, that's hysterical. Did you run the JavaScript benchmark? I'm interested because just in the last year there has been orders of magnitude improvement.

I use IE for most things but sometimes a page is being super slow or won't load so I switch it up to Firefox....but I use Safari for my Mac.

the only thing screwy about firefox is that i'm finding i have to download flash plugins, and real-player plugins. I happily follow the link and allow the things to install themselves, restart firefox, and it's back to square one.

And i'm finding it a relatively big bore. Sad

I flat out refuse to install RealPlayer. If a site can't bother to use a modern format, I'm not going to bother with the site. There's plenty of competition for my time.

Also, is nobody else nerdy enough to run the JavaScript benchmark?

Yeah. There are some interface things I hate about FireFox.
There are some interface things I really think IE does better. I prefer IE's favorites bar. I prefer being able to click a blank tab for a new tab.

And I had to install a FF specific flash player plugin thing. That wasn't fun.

But Ubiquity is amazing.
