What’s the Fastest Web Browser in the “Real World?” Chrome.

So this benchmark measured "how the population actually experiences web browser performance", and the article pronounces Google Chrome as the obvious winner, with the slight sidenote that FF 5 has a faster "perceived render time"?

It just seems slightly disingenuous.

Obviously Chrome is really the fastest. Firefox just seems the fastest ;-)

Yeah, the title is really ridiculous here. Chrome won one metric; Firefox won the other. Mozilla has every right to cry foul.

While Firefox does appear to render the page faster, it also seems to wait longer to start, so its page-loading experience is something like "......show."

Chrome starts rendering sooner but takes longer to do it (probably as it waits for pieces of the page to load) so its experience for me is more like "...shoooow."

I don't think it really matters either way, although Chrome 13's pre-rendering stuff often tips the balance that way.

Exactly. The title should be: What’s the Fastest Web Browser in the “Real World?” Firefox.

But given the size of the images with the chrome logo its not a far fetch to figure out they're being paid by Google for this study. lol.
