HOW TO MAKE YOUR BROWSER FASTER
 Google's new Chrome web browser beta is getting a lot of attention  for its slick looks, helpful features, and 
performance, but how does it rank against the early releases of more  established browsers? We've previously put 
the major browser releases to the speed test, but today we're  measuring Chrome against the second beta of 
Internet Explorer 8, as well as the beta of Firefox 3's next  iteration, 3.1. We tested tomorrow's browsers on startup 
and page-loading times, JavaScript and CSS performance, and, perhaps  most importantly to the average user, 
memory use on launch and with lots of content loaded. Read on to get  the scoop on which bleeding-edge beta has 
the edge in the browser time trials.
1.The Test
As with my previous browser tests, I installed  completely fresh copies of the three browsers on my Windows Vista 
laptop, with all settings left to defaults. With the second beta of  Internet Explorer 8, I reset the browser to factory 
settings and chose whatever Microsoft suggested during the  click-through setup.
My test system has the same specs as before: A 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo  processor, 2GB of memory, and running 
Windows Vista Home Premium. For the time-based tests, I again used  Rob Keir's ultra-lightweight timer app, 
simultaneously tapping the "\" key with "Enter" to launch a browser  shortcut or folder full of bookmarks. I performed 
each test on each browser three times and averaged out the results,  while eliminating obvious oddities. (With 
Vista's often empirical hard drive usage, there were definitely  artificially long start-ups).
It's the same system I used to test Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3  RC3, Safari for Windows, and Opera 9.5, so you can 
make fair comparisons between all the browsers. It's not scientific  in the strict sense, but it's meant to measure 
browser performance as real humans experience it—load, click, and  wait.
