Ok since last night I have been listening and watching that IE 9 beating Firefox and microsoft doing some really unfair comparison on there site. So I thought why not give it a shot my self and give Firefox a fair chance to compete with other browsers (excluding Chrome since its already fast chrome 7 is even more faster on GPU) and have the so called SunSpider benchmark quoted by engadget myself (BTW I was not able to replicate results engadget reports). Lets see the results first:
I would say Internet Explorer has hardly reached the point where Firefox is already positioned. I won’t lie I am a Firefox fan and even with bias factor there is no reason for to say Internet Explorer 9 is a bad browser. But it really makes me wonder when a company like microsoft is doing a comparison on their official site and doing and changing it so frequently as if they made some assumptions about the checklist and someone added correction later on ( I am not joking here is the clipping that I posted to my friend last night from this link; it totally changed within half an hour).
Before I close let me declare this “I am not saying IE 9 is bad; its probably the best IE release I’ve seen till today; I am only criticizing the false paradigm that microsoft may create around itself and stop the good development in browsers giving us an other IE 6 nightmare”.
