(IE 9 can warn also which plug-ins and toolbars slow down your performance and offer to remove them.)Ĭhrome remains faster overall. IE 9 and Firefox 4’s “RC” version exhibited none of that slowdown IE even beat Chrome in one test of its ability to run Web scripts, a core component of the Web applications that we spend an increasing amount of time using. In other words, IE 9 (for Windows Vista and 7) and the open-source Firefox 4 (for Win 2000 and newer, Mac OS X 10.5 and newer, and most versions of Linux) both show the effect Google’s Chrome has had on the market.Ĭhrome’s speed made it my default browser on slow netbooks, on which earlier versions of Firefox and IE could visibly lag. That’s “less” as in less time spent waiting for the browser to work its way through a complex, interactive page, and less distraction from the interface surrounding that page.
The two most widely used Web browsers are getting updates, and for once both contenders - Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9, released Monday, and Mozilla Firefox 4, due Tuesday but available now in “release candidate” form - are competing to offer less.
