    Your site is The Windows Club what do you expect to think about MS IE tests?

    What is, “Site Centric User Experience?” anybody know?

    Since these tables are reproduced from Microsoft’s IE 9 Beta Product Guide, it’s quite possible the results are neither “exhaustive” or unbiased. Nice job of reporting.

    Very open-minded test…

  • Alpernebbi

    With Firefox, everything is possible with addons.

    Everything. No exceptions.

    Well this a bit of a fail… I doubt anyone will be switching browser based on this ‘exhaustive comparison’. Yeah, like a bunch of tables produced by MS will ever be exhaustive.
    Firefox 4 FTW!

    Don’t know about IE9.
    But with experience I can definitely say that chrome is faster than IE8, IE7 and all other predecessor. Specially when the web page contains lots of JavaScript.
    The problem is whenever a new URL request is put on IE. It seems to think longer before acting than Chrome and Firefox. This is the point where IE is loosing user popularity before Chrome and Firefox.

    What kind of biased reporting is that?!? I’ll stick to independent research, thank you. There is a reason IE has lost over 50% of it’s share of the browser market. How about advising Microsoft to spend a little more time in R&D and a little less time in the marketing department. There must be a reason they keep overhauling browsers back to back to back (IE7, IE8, IE9). New does not always mean improved, spend more time at the drawing board guys.

    The amount of bias form the author is unbearable…. but the funniest point is the “Compatibility mode for older sites” in order to have MSIE first in the “Interoperability, Standards Support and Compatibility” (ROTFLMAO)!!!

    It should be more properly called “Broken/incompatible mode for nonstandard MS-only sites, guarantees less than 25/100 on the acid3 test and complies with Microsoft tradition to ignore standards”.

    Please grow up.

    BTW: 25 million downloads in this moment (Firefox 4 :)
