Thank you. Finally, some sanity over here.Javier78 said:Bunie said:OK. NO BROWSER IS THE BEST.Javier78 said:Exactly! That's why I thought it was pointless. The average user couldn't care less about GPU accelerated graphics because really, how often does one utilize them in a web browser?
HTML5, the new standard, REALLY requires GPU Accelerated Graphics. GPU is good for flash ads, youtube, pages with alot of gifs, and HTML5 has alot of movement and smoothness to it that is almost impossible to view without acceleration.
My PC has an AMD64 3000+ clocked at 2Ghz.
But now browsing is possible again thanks to my Nvidia Geforce 8400 + firefox 4
I just used standard Google chrome without GPU acceleration to view a 1080p video on youtube. It was flawless, and not choppy at all. Of course, you can get into the technical details, but really, who cares? The average user wants something that "just works", so they obviously don't care if firefox runs some random demo faster or slower than chrome. Sure, the demo ran like crap (20 fps), but that didn't affect the performance of the HD video at all.
Although you have a point with HTML5, it isn't mainstream yet. All the browsers are changing rapidly to support HTML5 as best as they can, so we can't really say which one handles HTML5 better.

Chrome= Speed
Firefox= Addons
Ok. I'm quoting you because your avatar is amazing.
Oh, and because what you say is the truth.
