CurlyWhirly Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think it's all more of a personal thing to be honest with you. Depending on the sites you visit your browser would be more secure.Or...half personal/half technical when it comes to RAM, CPU, etc...I don't think that CPU or RAM come into it much as long as you have the minimum specs for broadband (which are quite low)It depends on the broadband speed and latency and also how busy a particular website is at any moment in time.

Hb_Kai Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 The speed a computer will be able to load the browser itself with/without addons can still depend on availability of RAM and the CPU, it will also effect the rendering of web pages slightly but the internet speed will do most of this. You also have stuff to consider along side this like JavaScripts, Flash Scripts, and also the language which the browser was built with.Say you had a computer with 36MB RAM, and 0.75GHz processor, and another load of poor computer specs, you aren't going to be able to view web pages aswell as someone with double that above.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Where would you keep all the saved milliseconds until you wanted to use them? Why not get up two seconds earlier each day and put the computer on that two seconds earlier? :lol: :lol: :lol:I rather sleep two seconds longer, then make up for them during the daytime.

Dencandy Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 :D You can also save nanoseconds by training your fingers to go faster & by learning touch-typing so you don't waste precious seconds looking at the keyboard.(Be careful opening that beer Hb_kai, the froth can splash onto the keyboard and cause a short-circuit.)

andsome Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Let's have a competition, and see who can save the most seconds before Christmas. BE TRUTHFUL THOUGH. I have saved 1 second and two nanoseconds so far this morning. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 :D:D I don't open canned drinks near the laptop, or bottles of fizzy drink at that - you never know where the fizzy frothy stuff is going to land. :(I've just wasted about 20 seconds because I didn't know my laptop's battery was low and it went in to stand-by, :(, but I have managed to save 2 seconds by not letting the kettle boil until the end. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Once again IE opens quicker than FF, I can't comment on the others as I haven't used them, but once open FF is quicker to open the web sights you click on. So if you just sit with your homepage then you are saving the time, but if you start clicking on links and searching then FF will most certainly save time, and by reading other reply's then they can save you even more time. At your age I would think you need all the seconds you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have saved so much time using FF that this morning I had an email from Stephen Hawking asking if he could have some of it to stuff up a leak in one of his black holes.

See? IE's last. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
