Default [Computer World] IE8 runs 10 times faster with Google plug-in

Quote:
Microsoft's Internet Explorer zips through JavaScript nearly 10 times faster than usual when Google's new Chrome Frame plug-in is partnered with the browser, benchmark tests show.

According to tests run by Computerworld, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) with the plug-in was 9.6 times faster than IE8 on its own. Computerworld ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark suite three times each for IE8 with Chrome Frame, and IE8 without the plug-in, then averaged the scores.

I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft someone managed an update to block the Google plugin. But so far, what a great move by Google.

Internet Exploder is a nightmare.

Not that Chrome is much better right now.

MS already issued a warning: http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/new...ess-secure.ars

I've been using FF forever as well. Looking forward to Chrome being stable, though. I like it's interface much more.

Using Google Chrome 3.0 to type this. It's pretty stable and faster than both IE 8 and Firefox 3.5. Works fine with every single forum site I'm on. There is only 1 site I've encountered that doesn't like it.

FF may be adopting a Chrome-like interface next year...
