ZDNet News reported test results last week indicating Safari 4 is the fastest browser available, both on PC and Mac.  While the data ultimately comes down to a matter of milliseconds, Safari still clocks in more than three times faster than Firefox 3 and more than five times faster than Internet Explorer 8 (release candidate 1).

 

 

These are results from a PC with a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo:

1) Safari 4 (Total time: 910ms)
2) Mozilla Minefield 3.2a1 (1,136ms)
3) Google Chrome (1,177ms)
4) Firefox 3 (3,250ms)
5) Opera 9.6 (4,076ms)
6) Internet Explorer 8 (5,839ms)
7) Internet Explorer 7 (39,026ms)

 

Bottom line, this may or may not mean much to you.  Everyone likes a browser for a particular reason.  If you're up for a new flavor of Internet, why not give Safari a try?  You can download it for free here.
