The results vary according to the hardware you’re running of course. So if you make the test you will get different results from the ones I had. Besides epiphany and firefox I decided to try chromium as well. I haven’t used chromium in linux yet, so I did not new what to expect. Better then words, here are screenshots of the results.

Firefox 3.5.4

Epiphany 2.27.90

Chromium 4.0.204.0

These tests where all done running Ubuntu 9.04 in a P4 with 1GB RAM. It’s not my main computer, I did during lunch hour at work. I’ll see how it goes with my Intel Dual Core @ 2.4GHZ.

It seems I’ll be using chromium more although ephy is doing great!

You can add exceptions for the trusted websites that you don’t mind waiting all the scripts to load.

Of course NoScript is mostly aimed at security and you’ll be amazed with the amount of (most of the time) useless scripts websites load all the time. With Noscript you get extra security and extra speed.

For people with slow connections and bandwidth limits it can also be a small help.

I also use google analytics but I won’t be mad if you block on my blog
