I have windows, but use Safari (in my opinion, it kicks both Firefox & IE's arses ) I don't think that one browser can be faster than another (if so, it can't be by that much), I just think that its easy to use

Indeed - I just stick with IE7 because I downloaded Firefox and Opera and yet both just irritated me. I like IE7 for the most part because it's piss to use and sort out. Even if I did try and use a different browser, I'd probably find something wrong with it...

Best damn web browser next to Opera - I haven't tried version 3 yet but I'm gonna download it probably on the weekend and have a play. IE7 is nice but I don't use it full-time. I use it some of the time only to test my web apps for decent performance.
Web browsers aren't faster than each other. It all means what the code is optimized to. For example, Safari (iTunes is bad enough) Javascript may be written well and optimized perfectly, but in IE it could have extra lines of code, meaning that it would be a bit laggier. Safari is probably middle of the road if anything, and Opera is probably the fastest.

I do. Click on Test Internet Speed and hit one of the Google links, then enter in the code it gives you - like 2593 is what I got.

Are you asking to know ways around things? You know we don't do that on here...give Maxthon a go. It still uses all the IE code and that stuff, but also uses Gecko - which is the thing used for displaying and coding Firefox pages.
