The PS3's built in web browser is more secure than IE7 or 8. FACT.

Eiffel6277d ago (Edited 6277d ago )

What does this have to do with the PS3 you tool?

Quit trying to start sh1t.

ie8 is more secure and faster not as fast as firefox. but lately safari 4 is faster then them both.

Bladestar6277d ago (Edited 6277d ago )

@KionicWarlord222... come on you have to be smarter than that.

Things are never black or white.

The truth is that it actually depends what you are browsing.

Most of the test perform by specific people to try to imply that their browser is faster are specific.

As a developer who currently use all browser I can tell you that.

For example, these are facts.

Loading images, firefox is slower than IE8 and Chrome.

For Javascript, IE8 is slower than firefox and google chrome since they both use a newer version of the javascript engine.

IE in many cases is faster rendering html than firefox and Chrome.

IE is faster loading external javascript files but not executing them.

How fast a browser is depends also on your settings.

For example, turning off your catching for all browser will give you an idea which one is faster.

So, the point is... I think all browsers at this point have reach the point where how fast pages load depend on how fast is your internet connection.

It's a matter of brand loyalty and preference.

Also, secure depends on what you do with it. It does not matter how many guns you carry... going to Iraq increases your chances of dying.
So, if you avoid going into illegal sites... your security becomes an add on.

And this new feature that IE has... that turns off everything in order to keep your session private... is better than anything Firefox has to offer... since this feature does not exist on firefox yet.

I know that the M$ haters will hate.

Kyur4ThePain6277d ago

Even if what you say is true, can you blame them for not liking IE so far? Maybe 8 is better. Who knows?

Heldrasil6277d ago

@1.1

I like it as well, never had any problems with IE.

Rofflecopter6277d ago

never really had problems with IE, but i still prefer the customization of firefox.

Eiffel6277d ago

I only use IE when Firefox crashes after I get the feedback window. I've found Opera is best when loading flash videos.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
