The only competitor is upcoming Safari 4. Try Firefox 3.0 :)

I've tried all the various developer builds, but they're just as bad. It's so slow as to be unuseable, and the text rendering is atrocious. As soon as someone writes a good developer's toolbar for Opera or Safari etc it'll be in the trash for good.

I tested a few browsers with this: http://celtickane.com/projects/jsspeed.php Safari for windows was the quickest by a mile. And loading gmail on it confirmed it has great javascript speed. Safari gave 500ms whilst FF was up near 4000ms. I've since got it down to 2800 by clearing the profile. This has been annoying me too - firefox must be the slowest javascript browser out there.

That reminded me that I've been meaning to try out Flock for quite some time now. . Anyway, after trying it, it seem that while Firefox is stable, Flock still keeps on crashing on me. I can't blame Flock indeed because it'snot even version 1.0 yet. I'm reverting back to Firefox & Safari, while keeping an eye on Flock. . @bayu - it seems like a great idea ! I'm giving it a try now. . I don't like working with multiple windows of same app, but if it will enable me to be more productive, then it's a compromise that I'll settle with. . thanks for sharing ! @Patrick - Thanks for the recommendation.

I am using Opera with no problem whatsoever right now. Have you tried using <a href="http://www.flock.com/">Flock</a> instead?

Have you tried using Flock instead?

I wonder if it's possible to separate the SpiderMonkey instances for UI and for website's Javascript processing.
