From recent buzz on the Web, few are arguing on the speed of Apple’s Safari 3, Apple’s newest browser that just released to the market. Whether or not, it is faster or the slower than Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera browser, as demonstrated in two different charts, it’s a debatable question. In the meantime, I just came across a forum, a user stated that by using a Javascript speed test, it showed Safari 3 indeed faster than the other browsers on the Web, i.e. average time is 123, Aha!

Albeit that this feature is their strongest selling point, and of course, its biggest appeal, and some Mac users thought Safari browser is terrific, but I don’t think Apple can build an empire for Safari browser by simply relied on this “faster speed” feature. Was faster speed the answer for all the browsers, I wondered?
