Centipede Fighting A Snake

What's the world's fastest browser?

Oh sure, the following tests aren't as scientific as putting all the browsers in a ring and seeing which one is left standing after the fight, but it's close.

Before we begin however, the new contender: Swiftfox.

Firefox, which we all know and love, has in recent times been accused of putting on weight and slipping back the bulky days of Mozilla, the very thing its birth was supposed to be an escape from. The draw cards of Firefox's first releases were speed and simplicity.

While I personally don't think Firefox has strayed far from this, there are those who feel otherwise -- like the chaps behind Swiftfox.

Swiftfox is Firefox with a few key differences -- it's compiled with optimised flags for various CPU architectures, and it drops some of the more recent bulk -- such as the depedencies on the Pango libraries (used in part for international font rendering).

It's only available for Linux, but as Firefox is open source, there's nothing stopping someone building a Swiftfox for Windows.

Swiftfox has gained a rapid following for being noticeably faster, so I was curious to see if this was the case. Armed with my Ubuntu install, and specialised 'benchmarking toolkit' (read: bag of chips, coke, and a stopwatch), I sat down to see if Swiftfox could live up to its moniker using the AMD64 optimised binary for Ubuntu on my AMD64 4400+ system.

If you want seriously hardcore Web standards benchmarking, throw your browser through the Acid2 test, which is really what it's all about. But here, we're looking for speed, and for this there's nothing better than Scragz' quick and dirty browser rendering benchmark. So, onto the results!
First, a baseline under Windows:

(32-bit) Internet Explorer 6: 3.76 seconds
(32-bit) 1.5.0.6 Firefox: 5.03
(32-bit) 9.01 Opera: 4.89

Well there's a nice surprise! Even the aging IE6 bundled with Windows XP is a fair bit faster at the testpage than Firefox and Opera. But lets see how things fare under 64-bit Ubuntu and if Swiftfox lives up to its name:

(64-bit) 1.5.0.6 Firefox: 4.75 seconds
(32-bit) 1.5.0.6 Firefox: 4.79
(32-bit) 1.5.0.6 Swiftfox: 4.67

Well, Swiftfox is indeed faster -- by about 1.7%. Not really that much to write home about, but your mileage may vary. And plausibly, the 64-bit version of Firefox is flea's sneeze faster than the 32-bit version. While we're here, what about the two default browsers for the KDE and Gnome desktops, common to most Linux distributions:

(64-bit) 3.5.2 Konqueror: 3.75 seconds
(64-bit) 2.4.1.1 Epiphany: 4.69

Now there's another surprise. Not only is the default (and often overlooked) Gnome browser Epiphany rendering almost as fast as Swiftfox, but Konqueror (KDE's default browser) blows them all away, running head to head with IE on Windows.

So there you go. You want speed, it's Konqueror or, yes, IE. And, to be fair, while Swiftfox wasn't exactly leaps ahead it does actually startup noticeably faster than Firefox, which is nice.

Do you notice rendering speed differences between browsers? And which is your preferred choice and why?

Top 10 Reasons to Have an Ezine

  1. Establish yourself as a trusted expert. People search online for information and will look to you, as a subject matter expert, to provide it to them. Every week (or whatever schedule works) provides an opportunity to build on this, while reinforcing your brand.

  2. Build a relationship with the people on your list. It's common knowledge that people like to buy from people they like. By using ezines to connect with readers in their homes, you can develop a relationship of familiarity and trust. Be sure to share a little about yourself or your company in every issue, whether it is an anecdote, event, or employee spotlight.

  3. Keep in touch with prospects and clients. Consideration should be given to eventually developing two ezines: one for prospects and one for clients, as each require different information. This is a great way to notify your readers of weekly specials or upcoming product launches, offer new articles or customer stories, and provide links (or urls) to updated FAQs, blogs and splash pages.

  4. Drive traffic to your website or blog. As noted in #3, remember to call attention to new blog posts or other changes to your website with links directly to those pages. Remind readers of your online newsletter archives. Promote special sales (maybe with discount coupon codes only for subscribers) with a link to the sales page. Use links to turn your ezines and newsletters into "silent salespersons"– driving traffic to your website and building your lists around the clock.

  5. Build content on your website. Make a habit to adding your ezines and newsletters to your website in an archive area. This serves a several important purposes:

    • Visitors can read an issue or two to determine if your ezine will be of interest to them, which could help to increase sign-ups and potential sales.

    • If you optimize your article placements, you will not only make your website "meatier", but you'll also bring new traffic from the search engines.

  6. Get feedback from your readers. Make it easy for you to stay in touch with prospects and customers and vice versa. Ask them to take action and comment on your articles and offers. Conduct polls and surveys. Start a "Letters to the Editor" column in your ezine. Feedback allows you to fine tune your messages, target your marketing, and expand your product line. It's also great for relationship building!

  7. Develop an information product. If you deliver your newsletter once a week and include two articles, at the end of a year you'll have 104 well-researched articles in your portfolio! Pick the best-of-the-best and turn them into a bonus ebook for opting-in to your list, submit to download sites to build your list, or sell in PDF-format!

  8. Grow your mailing list. Let your ezine subscribers work for you. Be sure to remind your readers that it's okay to forward your newsletter to anyone they'd like. In addition, it's important to include sign-up instructions for those who received your ezine from viral marketing methods. A simple line titled, "Get Your Own Copy of XXXXXX", with a link to your squeeze or opt-in page is all it takes!

  9. Gather demographic data. By offering surveys, feedback forms, and niche reports, you'll be able to get valuable information about your prospects and customers. Learn what makes your readers tick, how to better serve them, and how to give them what they want. Make sure they become repeat customers!

  10. Save money! All of the above benefits of publishing an ezine are free or almost free. The small cost of a top-rated ezine publishing system is nothing compared to the cost of brochures, business cards, advertising, direct mail, pay-per-click or other means of promotion. Not only that, but someone has to manage that production! Because your newsletter is delivered online, you can grow your list to be as large as you want without worrying about the expense. Bottom line − it's proven that email marketing is the most cost-effective marketing solution for companies just like yours!
