Today, I will give a more visual breakdown from the user's (not developer's like i usually do) point of view. First up is <em>JavaScript Core execution</em> benchmark <img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sunspider_benchmark.jpg" border="0"> Don't you just love the shape of it? A more thorough JavaScript benchmark: <img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/javascript_speed_test.jpg" border="0"> And my favorite <img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/acid3_test.jpg" border="0"> <em>Add Latest Safari Alpha as 100%</em> I just love how opera has always been very compliant with standards. And it has more consistent look than even FF across OSs. If only the community would make widgets that are actually useful like what FF community makes, i would go back to using it (why do i want aquarium in my web browser and a half baked HttpHeader monitor). Lets also look at <strong>global market share</strong> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj229/tmthv2/CFT1220_0912583D69F.png" border="0"> (and i don't understand why data is so different over at <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp</a> As for me, i am slammed with another program to make, for school this time, that keeps track of MAC addresses on our wireless network + more homework. So i will once again have a hard time finding time to work on my ideas for DIE :( ************ <div style="text-align: center;"><strong>************ What others say ************</strong> <!--link--><a href="http://features.csmonitor.com/innovation/2008/12/16/microsoft-admits-security-flaw-stop-exploring-experts-say/">Microsoft admits IE is unsafe and users should be cautious while using it.</a> We all have issues: <!--link--><a href="http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/FirefoxMyths.html">Firefox Myths</a>.

IE is an important browser. Without IE, we would never know what its like to have a bad internet browsing experience and good browsers like FireFox would not get the praise and a title of "the best" because they would just be ordinary good browsers. But with IE on the market FireFox truly shines: <strong>IE's existence makes all other browsers look good</strong>, even lynx (and yes, text-only mode looks better any day than what IE does with CSS and images). Finally, without IE we would not know what a browser should <strong>not</strong> be and once again, FF would probably not be so great if its developers had no reference as to what they should <strong>not</strong> do. IE is a one stop place for referencing what a browser should not be."</em> ************<!--center--></div> <strong><u>Userbars</u></strong> <!--link--><a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html"><img src="http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/9671/ff3bs2.gif" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/"><img src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6591/ffuserbar3bs1.png" border="0"> <img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/ffuserbar2pe4.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.opera.com/download/"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/operauserbarsx9.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://browser.netscape.com/downloads/archive/"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/netscapeuserbarat9.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/download/"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/safariuserbargd5.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://lolifox.com/download/"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/lolifoxuserbarce3.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/releases/"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/mozillauserbaria0.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.konqueror.org/download/"><img src="http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/900/konqueroruserbarmx0.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.flock.com/"><img src="http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/7314/flockuserbarwl0.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://maxthon.quox.net/en/download.htm"><img src="http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/9828/maxthonuserbarjt4.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/"><img src="http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/3466/chromeuserbarfo2.jpg" border="0"></a> Do like BPS and add this to your profile: xD <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=551"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xtamember/antiieuserbarzy2.png" border="0"></a> <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=551"><img src="http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/9861/dieuserbarzb3.png" border="0"></a> <strong>GET Microsoft Internet Crasher today and win a free hard disk wipe!</strong> <img src="http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1473/ieuserbarns7.png" border="0"> <div style="text-align: center;">[Thanks to Mathes for these userbars] [and DarkBlue for the Chorme one] <strong>May Internet Explorer fail, and all other browsers prevail :3</strong> <strong>This club is Osaka approved</strong> <img src="http://www.animewish.net/images/osakaseal.jpg" border="0"><!--center--></div><!--center--></div>
