Subject: RE: BS: BS-tech: IQ vs. browser use (ha!)
Since the thread has drifted to the totally inappropriate serious discussion of browsers1, perhaps some would be interested in recent reports:

Browser Wars: Chrome vs. 1E9 vs. Firefox appears to be a "gimme the facts" kind of article, and doesn't take sides. The other popular(?) browsers are mentioned but not really reviewed. Clicking "Next" at the bottom of the page takes you to the original mag article.

Download Blocking Test from a UK lab, and maybe of interest especially there, although the article is pretty general.

Everybody has their favorites, but when the one you have makes you reasonably happy it's difficult to keep up on changes in the other ones you might like better now. Browsers, and their rankings by the "experts," do flitter up and down in the standings reported, and nearly all the best known ones have made recent updates, some of which are significant, some of which are pretty ho-hum, and a few that are "why the s**t did they think we wanted that."
