Some speed comparisons:

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html

After looking at the data, Lynx is the fastest and best browser.

Odd, the page itself says: "To summarise

So overall, Opera seems to be the fastest browser for windows."

Lynx is just text and graphics, like Netscape from 1996.

I think you missed the point of my post, there was more to it than just statistics.

BTW, there are many businesses around the world that would prefer a "security through openness" rather than "security through obscurity".

Don't be so quick to judge open source products.

edit: I won't even bother, just keep your thoughts to yourself Rep. You don't want to listen to anybody, and nobody wants to listen to you.

why is it that you have to resort to namecalling? how does that help, exactly

E-penis for when he knows he's spouting subjective numbers as though they were cold, hard facts.

Shut it. By your own logic you defeat your arguments.

One day you say Firefox is 'better' because more people use it. Since you're such a big fan of Linux, that must also mean that Windows is better because more people us it.

I've never said that something is better because more people use it. Firefox is "better" for me (on Windows) and many others because it runs faster on their systems, costs nothing, and has the same functionality as other browsers. Just like Safari is better for me on OS X, because it is faster, has a nicer integration with the other OS X apps, and its brushed metal. This entire argument is over subjective bullshit, something you'd like to trumpet as factual and indisputable.

2. Free open source 'competition' displaces real competitors so one of two things happens: a.) Higher prices for legit products. b.) Prices drop so low that the industry suffers and we start seeing people whining on blogs about how Microsoft pays them $8 hourly to program Office 12.
