Internet Explorer 9 launches tonight. It’s like, yea, whatever, will test it someday, but not today. Still sceptical about it’s CSS3 capability.

But what was more exciting, was the Microsoft’s Fish IE Tank brower performance test. Of course, it is not ment to be the only “true test” out there because of all kinds of factors, but still its funny. While i get to some PC box to test IE, i played around with 3 browsers under my wing.

And for my big surprise, FF performed bad. Really, really, really bad. Here i give few screenshots of Chrome, FF and Safari. Chrome and safari showed at least something, FF showed only 1FPS. And i guess it was slower than that, its just there is nowhere to fall lower than 1fps.

While FireBug is only thing holding me to FireFox, Google has released Chrome version 10 (stable)
Among other useless discutable features as “New settings pages that open in a tab, rather than a dialog box” there are some pleasing innovations that gives me additional confidence in switich to Chrome as deault browser:

• GPU Accelerated Video (have you tried watching hd vids on firefox? And i mean vimeo kind of hd video, not youtube pixeljunk)
• Sandboxed Adobe Flash on Windows
• New version of V8 – Crankshaft – which greatly improves javascript performance
