I tried 7 on a broadband
now, as I said, the illusion of speed almost made me post that this browser was faster then ie.
however, when I timed the page loading, I could not tell the differance from my stop watch.
therefore, I wnt to
some sites that rendered script execution...(check statistics at the bottom of the page, do side by side comparisons
in 9 out of 10 times, ie was clearly faster at script execution then opera.
this, combined with the discusting mount of space the toolbars take up made me immediately toss the program, before I tested on a slow connection.
I am definately saying though, that at first look, without timing, due to the abundant taskbar activity, opera definately SEEMED the faster browser.
but this did not hold against tming mechanisms, and it did not hold against script execution.
my timing experiment however is certainly biased, as I have done some ie tweaking, and I have not done opera tweaking...also, I am familiar with ie, and that always translates into a speed benefit.
however, at script execution, this is not biased or illusionary, these figures are accurate, so give that a go...as I said,ie's benefit over opera on my box may be due to my ie tweaking
