I wonder why opera can't be as success as firefox/IE. It already has a good engine from several years ago. Why u don't use opera urself? - yuhirocks from hemorrhoids treatment

Interesting to see this. I have to say I prefer Firefox before IE however. Lennie, Web Designer currently working on the Blood Pressure Online Pharmacies project.

Note that bitops is really testing global variables as well as bitwise ops, and global access dwarfs bitops in more than one implementation. I pinged Maciej about this the other day.

I think, this test was produced by microsoft. Explorer isn’t faster then firefox and opera.
Opera 9.23 was very slow in JavaScript operations but 9.24 and higher are beautifull. Sorry, but explorer SUCKS!

We are sandbagging a bit — Firefox 3 final betas will speed up. Not bragging, just noting some deferred perf-bug fixing going on now.

I agree, comparing Opera 9.5 (Beta) & Safari 3.04 (Beta) against Firefox 2 & IE7 is not the best comparison.

It would have been better to run Opera 9.25 however that version threw NaN errors at several of the tests for me. Safari 3.0.3 locked up half way through.

I would also love to see IE6 in there.

He should have thrown in Firefox 3.
