I remember from somewhere in benchmarks that Chrome was the fastest and Firefox was the second slowest (faster than IE). But Firefox used less memory or something like that. It concluded that Chrome for laptops was faster (even through user experience) but Firefox is simply the fastest in "lower powered" devices. I think web experience would be much faster with Firefox than Chrome for smartphones. (read we need a benchmark and comparison).

Thought I'd try Chromium as Chrome is simply Kick ***.
Unfortunately it doesnt even load googles home page... Im guessing this is due to the Pacman game built in.

Dissapointing and ironic

@xomm

So have you started the review?

I expect Firefox to be the fastest (efficient memory packaging) and Chrome to be the slowest (quickest but inefficient).
At least when it comes to opening a several tabs (>10).
Maybe the difference is less for single tabs.

Opera Mini etc will be faster than Firefox but they are Lite Browsers, not like a full desktop functioning like the Firefox, where it stays niche.

I was waiting for Firefox to be "officially" 1.1. They should be done sometime this month.

sudo gainroot
apt-get install libxss1

I couldn't find libxss in the reponsitories - it looks like it has replaced by libxss1

Here is the link for Chromium

http://maemo.jacekowski.org/pool/fre...emo4_armel.deb

Here is the lib file

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ibxss1.install

The method in the post exactly before mine works excellent to install the libxss1
