Is Firefox 3 the fastest?

Well if we take notice of all the information coming out on the recent release of the finished product. It has been noted that there have been some significant improvements on previous browsers and to that end is said be really fast.

But don’t take our word for it; here is what TechWeb have to say about it:

“Mozilla VP of engineering Mike Schroepfer claims that Firefox 3 is 9.3x faster than Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and 2.7x faster than Firefox 2 in terms of JavaScript performance. In terms of Gmail message load time, he claims Firefox 3 is 6.8x faster than IE7 and 3.8x faster than Firefox 2. And he says Firefox 3 beats Apple’s Safari, which is also faster than Firefox 2.”

Of course there is only one real way of finding out the truth, try it for yourself!
