No. Actually, Safari and Chrome share the same engine (Webkit). So, the performance is the same. And, last time I checked, Safari 4 had WAY better javascript benchmarks than Firefox 3, not to mention it’s the only browser passing the Acid 3 test (not sure if FF 3.5 does, but Safari was the first).
I don’t know where you heard Safari is “one of the worst browsers performance-wise”. Maybe Safari 3 Beta for Windows. O.o

safari is ranked as one of the worst browsers performance-wise.

mozilla is ranked second after chrome, but that’s in basic form. add-ons like adblock plus let firefox easily outclass chrome in terms of performance.

but safari… is literally only a small step above internet explorer. lol.

Safari and Mozilla are practically the same, Mozilla has Personas though (:

The story is, KHTML (used by Konqueror) has been bought by (or licensed to, not sure) Apple, Apple started the WebKit project based on KHTML, and the HTML/JS engine resulting from this project is used by Safari, Chrome and Konqueror. Firefox uses a different engine, called Gecko. WebKit is a step ahead though, if you consider the nightly builds, which neither Safari or Chrome use, because they’re too unstable.

No, no add ons, fast, does not show passwords in prefs so it’ll be easy hacking, doesn’t have much trouble with any website. I think people say firefox is better because of it’s add ons and more secure. Anything about speed? Sometimes it takes 30 second on a website when it should be 5 seconds

you use a knoppix live cd/dvd for that. Infinitely safer and doesn’t leave evidence on your computer. You can even create a home directory on your PC if you really must so you can bookmark favorite porn

Just listen to this:
MOZILLA FAILS!
Why it is fast is because it loads half the page!!!!!
Firefox has no support for all the BASIC webpage stuff.
And if you think that that stuff is useless, you can disable it in IE anyway.
So basically, FF gives you the support of a 1995 browser, and it can’t do anything useful.

You forgot one: Screaming at it because for some reason the code you wrote, that works perfectly in firefox, opera, safari, and chrome, somehow breaks in IE.
Damn Microsoft bastards.

WTF?
I’m pretty sure google aren’t involved in international torture, they might have given china a form of google where you can’t get sites that china disapproves of but they’re a company, and you’ll find that most companies would tailor their products to the audience if that audience had a billion members

Also, having all your data held by google is no way the scariest thing for humanity, global thermonuclear war (a strange game, the only way to win is not to play), the collapse of the economy, the growing superpowers in the east who will want some status that USA is trying to hog, global warming, the development of uncurable toxins, the evolution of bird flu, the threat of a new dark age as UN bans criticism of religion et cetera et cetera are far larger threats to humanity than a multinational corporation being able to see where you’re going for lunch next friday

I’m not even certain that google are the number one search engine in China, I thought Baidu was? *checks* yeah, Baidu is the leading search engine in China.

I agree with some of what you say except safari runs ten time faster than FF for me (it’s probably running slow cause a new version is out, you gotta update it manually and they don’t tell you when there’s a new version) and Opera runs slower than a snail with its only foot cut off, running up hill, on a hill of sandpaper and spikes.

Yes, Prove your incompetence, Tell us more about how IE rules. Afterall, Its Not like everyone on this page hasn’t experienced IE first hand and used Firefox, Chrome, or Opera to get away from IE, So tell us more.. We have no idea how much IE rules. With its super fast phishing filter, Its numerously available exploits and lack of simplicity for transferring anything beyond favorites to another pc.

Only Web designers should be allowed to comment on browsers.

IE is the worst, and has been the worst for a decade, and will always be the worst. And you can’t install multiple versions of IE on your machine without excessive hassle, so if you’re a web designer you can’t test your designs in older versions of IE.

Not that I care – if someone is using IE6 I don’t want their business.

Safari renders my own site better than anything else, but most of the time it’s also horrifically slow compared to FF.

Chrome – sorry. It’s cute, but doesn’t seem to have any particular options or add-ons. It seems that all you can do in Chrome is render pages. No thanks.

Opera works pretty fast for me, but there’s awful aliasing with PNGs. And you get runaway tabs if you try to open an image by itself.

The only reason I use IE is to watch Netflix online and when some website says you can only do certain things (like apply for jobs) using IE. Otherwise it’s Firefox. I tried Chrome and wasn’t impressed. It kept locking up. Maybe if I ever increase my memory I’ll try again.

Hmm. that’s interesting that you had to “heavily mod” IE to make it just slightly better than my FireFox. What’s even more interesting is that I only now have to slightly mod my FireFox to make it better than your heavily modded IE.
You’re not making a strong case for IE. In fact, you’re hurting your case more than anything.
Oh, and you sound like a total ass saying you “heavily modded” anything. Either nobody will believe you, or they’ll think you spend all your time in your parent’s basement modding programs that suck balls to begin with.
