Web Browser Wars: Who's Winning Now?

Given how much time we all spend online now, we thought it high time to look (again) at the most recent versions of the IE, Firefox and Chrome web browsers.  Comparing published benchmark results with our internal tests, declaring a clear winner is tricky, but here’s our take:

IE 9: Most improved of the three.  Faster and more secure than prior versions, with tabbed browsing it’s a huge step forward. Downside: Still uses more onscreen real estate than Chrome or Firefox.  

Google Chrome 10:  Clean design, but uses more memory than the other two; boot up was a bit slower than IE.  (We expect Chrome 11 to address this, but it’s still in beta).  However, if you’re using Google Docs, Chrome is optimal. 

Firefox 4: The fastest of the three; best of the bunch at handling HTML5; the most efficient of the three in terms of memory use, and the fastest to boot up.  While all three browsers are good, we think Firefox 4 is now the web browser to beat.
