Dude, it's marketing. It's meant to paint a strong picture and create an association between Chrome and speed, which I think it accomplishes well -- since Chrome <i>is</i> in fact faster it seems like an honest ad. Do you disagree? Or is your beef just that the ad is unscientific? An ad featuring a double-blind study could probably be made to be interesting, kind of like the blind Coke vs. Pepsi taste-tests... but that's not what they made.

- jsnyder 16y agoWow, I was about to call BS on this comment, then I went to grab a recent Opera build... it's not really that much faster, but it does edge out Chrome on my machine with SunSpider.
- adammichaelc 16y agoWow, I wouldn't have guessed that.
- endtime 16y agoKudos for taking the time to check. :)
- qw 16y agoKudos from me as well. Not enough people take the time to test their assumptions. I guess it says something about the relative quality of comments, when you are surprised when someone takes the time to actually do some minimal research.

- endtime 16y agoThis is true. But as more and increasingly complex webapps are written in JS, JS performance becomes more and more important.
