what is a really REALLY heavy website to test browsers on?

Posted on November 29th, 2009 by admin

Im trying to test our real word ISP speed, between different browsers. What is a really heavy website that can give most browsers a real workout?

Be sure to test Shiretoko 3.5 – my favourite browser right now (faster than Chrome)

http://celtickane.com/labs/web-browser-javascript-benchmark/ tests the browsers well – but you shouldn’t be testing ‘real world ISP speed’ that way, just go to a ’speedtest’ website for that. It won’t be different between browsers, but Opera10 now has a feature that makes it faster when your bandwidth gets strangled.

In use, I find Opera10 is about the fastest – but I tend to use Firefox 3.5 the most (I started using it about two weeks ago – very fast, now it’s out as RC2 – and looks great with the Chromifox Extreme Carbon theme).
