lifehacker.com — Since our squadron of independent analysts had the week off, we ran the latest editions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera 9.5, and Safari for Windows through some unscientific but highly geeky tests ourselves on a plain old Windows computer. Take a look at the full (and somewhat unexpected) results after the jump

From the Safari vs. Opera perspective...When it comes to JS, they tied, and with CSS, there's a sorta-bug in Safari which may be giving Safari artificially low timings because it calls the page "done" before it actually displays anything.

That's not accurate then, though. Alot of sites use hacks for IE, which is why they appear to work in IE, but actually, they're invalid and badly written pieces of crap.

There is a lot more to opensource than being able to look at the code. Really.Looking at the code is one thing but being able to freely give it away wherever you like, being sure that the software has been peer reviewed for bugs, insecurity and malicious code are amongst the many things that matter. For some the advantage of compiling their software is large, it gives plenty of advantages to those who know what they're doing.
