Firefox and Chrome Run Gmail Twice as Fast as IE, Says Google

[mrintech]

Its not that Firefox and Chrome are better, its just that IE literally is a l00z0r!! Its too complex and slow. MS people need to sit down and recode it! By the way, speaking of practical experiences, I find opera to be faster than Firefox but GMail's chat feature does not support Opera. madamn them!)

IE Works good for me. I used it after reading this thread But it's too buggy sometimes

It depends on how you define speed. If it only means HTML & CSS rendering, Opera is good. This is enough for Web 1.0.

If Web 2.0 is to remain as open as Web 1.0 (without needing browser plug-ins to develop even simple business apps painlessly), JS standards compliance and JS speed are very important. In compliance, there is no doubt Opera is excellent. But in JS speed it has got to catch up with other browsers (except of course IE).

I too don't understand why GMail doesn't support chat on Opera when they could go as far as supporting an idiot browser like IE.
