    cakka that is crap reasoning. There are too many remote vulnerabilities in Chrome at this point for me to seriously consider it.

    On the flipside, if an application inside a tab crashes, the other tabs are unaffected.

    Chrome is a nice idea but is 4 years away from being at the level of Firefox. Unless Google go wild with it.

    It is, however, the perfect example of how responsiveness and efficiency are not the same thing. Firefox is more efficient than Chrome because it uses threads rather than full blown processes. However Chrome is more responsive because it uses a separate process for each tab, this means that one being blocked is unable to interfere with the others. To the point of the stability mentioned by Xav.

    Although i am an opera fan, see this :: Browser Comparison - Acid 3 Test « Joeb’s Blog…Thing

    Opera 10, with the new prestel or something build has a perfect 100/100 acid test result. You can check for yourself. Just visit the site The Acid3 Test with your browser of choice. It tests automatically. IE 8 is a disaster with a score of 17. Firefox 3.1 alpha got 83, later builds of Safari get 98% but opera 10 alpha gives 100/100!!!!!
    I trust acid3.
    IE has security vulnerabilities.

    The Acid test determines how good a browser is at rendering. It means nothing in terms of the best browser to use, because web designers always make sure their pages load properly in all the major browsers. Therefore, something like Firefox may even display pages better than Opera (despite the Acid test), because the web designers design for the browsers' quirks.

    The cid3 test is the standard test used all over the world to test the overall quality of the browser and as Xav said, it tests the rendering capabilities of a browser(primarily what a browser is supposed to do).

    Yes partly true, because different browsers use different rendering engines built upon different algorithms with different results. But acid tests are standard tests to evaluate a browser. Check here : Acid Tests - The Web Standards Project

    Re: Looking for a powerful Web Browser

    Actually the acid tests are testing some of the more obscure parts of the standards that are expected to be relevant in coming years. Passing them means very little in terms of current ability and they are more a benchmark of where browsers need to be going.

    That said a failure to pass acid 2 is very poor at this point and the performance of IE at acid 3 is beyond abysmal.
