What browser is the best? We have the information you need to decide

We have extensively benchmarked all of the next generation browsers -- Safari 4, Opera 10.0, Firefox 3.6 alpha 1, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome 3 and 4. In this first segment we will look at basic features, install time, and browser launch times of these next gen browsers, in comparison to previous editions. In the second segment, we will look at CPU and memory usage, and briefly look at browser security. And in the third and final segment, we'll look at performance in CSS and Javascript benchmarks, as well as a basic rendering benchmark.

Hello everybody, I use FF, Opera and IE - banking issues (in that order), and now because of you people I will try Crome.

I've been trying out many browsers, but find myself going back to Firefox. However, in the naked form (without any addons) there is little to choose from.
