I have tried 4 browsers for now on... Google Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera. But i think there was another one i tested...
does someone have a browser i can test? I want to test as much as possible. (Opera 10 is my favorite!)

well, I'm currently using Chrome because we have a slow internet. You can't install an extension unless you have google chrome 4.0, but I have 3.0... But i'm going back to Mozilla once we have a fast internet.

Im using google chrome right now. It has a unique javascript engine wich took months of developing. It has been proven to run 12 times faster than internet explorer wikipedia says"Speed"
The JavaScript virtual machine used by Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, has features such as dynamic code generation, hidden class transitions and precise garbage collection.[12] Tests by Google on 2 September 2008 showed that V8 was about twice as fast as Firefox 3.0 and the WebKit nightlies.
Several websites performed benchmark tests using the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark[70] tool as well as Google's own set of computationally intense benchmarks, which includes ray tracing and constraint solving.[71] They unanimously reported that Chrome performed much faster than all competitors against which it had been tested, including Safari, Firefox 3.0, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8.[72][73][74][75] Opera has not been compared to Chrome in those comparisons, and neither have other minority browsers.[76][77] Another blog post by Mozilla developer Brendan Eich compared Chrome's V8 engine to his own TraceMonkey Javascript engine which was introduced in Firefox 3.1alpha, stating that some tests were faster in one engine and some were faster in the other, with Firefox 3.1a faster overall.[78] John Resig, Mozilla's JavaScript evangelist, further commented on the performance of different browsers on Google's own suite, finding Chrome "decimating" other browsers, but he questions whether Google's suite is representative of real programs. He stated that Firefox 3.0 performed poorly on recursion intensive benchmarks, such as those of Google, because the Mozilla team had not implemented recursion-tracing yet.[79]
Chrome also uses DNS prefetching to speed up website lookups.[80] This feature is available in Internet Explorer and Firefox as an extension, and is built-in and enabled by default in Firefox 3.5.
On Windows platforms, Chrome uses a 1000Hz timer which results in high power consumption and high CPU overhead in virtual machines. This can easily be observed by starting Chrome in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox and monitoring the CPU utilization on the host system.[citation needed]

what a surprise, the IE engine is hardly industry leading, in fact its about the worst javascript engine in current use. Its telling that they did not report tests from opera, which is hardly a minority browser.

not physically possible.

Sorry?! How can I used it then?!

it appears to make pages load faster. It does not make your connection faster.
