Idunno. That may be an option if my Firefox gets hinky on me again. For now, I am living large.

Does Opera allow ad-ons such as Firefox’s Dowload Helper?

Speed is nice, but stability is usually more important.

"...IE8 scores 1.55, Opera 10.2 5.85, Firefox 3.5 11.12 (3.7 alpha 13.29), Safari 4 20.83, Chrome 22.5 and Opera 10.5 24.5."

What is the unit of measure?

To put this into some context Betanews uses a benchmark whereby the speed of Internet Explorer 7 is classed as 1.0 using Windows 7 making all other browsers results relative to this. Consequently, IE8 scores 1.55, Opera 10.2 5.85, Firefox 3.5 11.12 (3.7 alpha 13.29), Safari 4 20.83, Chrome 22.5 and Opera 10.5 24.5.

It's says all speeds are relative to IE7 speed.

You invite us to download an alpha test version? What did we do to you to deserve this?

So if, for example, I was going to download a 30 MB file, would this Opera 10.5 download that file 24.5 times faster than IE-7? I’m guessing no. I guess that they’re measuring some other aspect of browser performance.

Personally, I find download times to be, by far, the largest factor in speed and that aspect of browsing is dependent on the speed of the internet connection, not the browser.
