I'm still on Chrome 2 and I have never looked back. From time to time I still open up Firefox but otherwise most of the time I use Chrome 2.

Weird that Opera didn't finish well in any of the tests. I switched to it from FF 3.5 and it seems so much snappier on my 768Kb/s connection.

because they never gave points unless the browser was the best.
FF was a close 2nd and third every time, but it didn't get credit the way they were scoring.

im on chrome 4.0.206.1, I figure it's better to keep up to date with the latest builds, because builds will always improve overtime even if they take an initial performance hit, but just by using peace-keeper myself - chrome 3 and 4 and safari have always been top dogs.

Google Chrome ftw!

Exactly. With tabbed browsing, I never wait, since I open 3-4 tabs at a time they are always completely done when I look at them, even on my slow cable (~700 DL speed).

I just upgraded to Opera 10 USB (since I am stuck with IE 6 at work) and am loving it. At home, I use IE8 most of the time, but occasionally Opera (if I have a link or bookmark on OperaUSB, but with the new synchronize of Opera 10, I may just load it on my desktop).

Tabbed browsing is not only FTW, but a darn MUST.

They should have factored stability into the equation. Use each browser for a few days and subtract points every time the browser crashes. Based on my own experiences they only browser that would have any points left would be Firefox.
