How fast is your browser? Hardware acceleration

60+ sandboxed Firefox 4 (if anything, it seemed faster to me)

Interesting - tried in sandbox and got 33fps both times (compared to 35). Still haven't tried on the main laptop, I'm just assuming it'll be 60+.

IE doesn't do it with my security settings.

I tried this at home and got 60 but this netbook only manages 3fps (XP FF4)

13fps FF3
17fps Chrome (portable)
60+fps FF4 (portable)
IE8 would not run

All on a laptop

Opera - 21 fps
I thought chrome and opera were supposed to be the cutting edge of fast?

Opera just doesn't have hardware acceleration yet, but to its credit it's comparable in speed to FF4 on my netbook (has a HD graphics card).

Chrome just has poorer implementation of hardware acceleration than FF & IE.

Can't use hardware acceleration on Windows XP using IE, but it seems more an arbitrary decision since it works fine for Firefox on XP.
