tl;dr version: IE initially crushes everyone, when they start the actual benchmarks it bombs hard

firefox beats the hell out of chrome for handling a ton of tabs (likely because of the lack of multi-process)

chrome fanboys are legendary for being extremly vocal in support while having no understanding of the technical side of their preferred browser

the new opera is based on chromium and it uses 6x more memory than the old single-process 12.xx series

i like how they offer suggestions/ideas but then disregard that they could be true for internet explorer

how to look tech savy: 1. say IE sux 2. feel good about yourself
