Fastest web browser?

[somebody]

Strange thing is many people i come across at work think the browsers which follow most closely the Web standards ie the acid 3 test and what not are the ones which are badly made

Chrome, Safari and Opera do it for me in what are the best browsers although use ie7-8 and and opera as a rule in the real world or more like a browser on a mobile many of which also use web kit as do Chrome and Safari.

Hopefully html 5 will gain ground as Html 4 is sooo old.

It will be a long time before Microsoft fully supports HTML5 in IE particularly the Canvas as this competes with similar functionality in Silverlight and WPF.

In reality I think Silverlight and Flash will be around for a long time yet.

You're right though IE still fails acid3

IE 8 is the anti acid 3 im sure 20 /100 when it was first released

I have to say im imprssed with HTML 5 and like you say im sure many will use Flash and silverlight but google and apple seem to be very pro HTML 5 at the mo so be intresting what MS do.
