Minefield – Faster then IE, Faster then Chrome, Faster then Firefox

Thu, Oct 23, 2008

Apple, Firefox, Freeware, Linux, Windows

According to some, we aren’t even looking at the fastest browser that Mozilla has to offer.  They have been working on an ‘underground’ prototype called Minefield for quite a while now.  According to Ars Technica it can render JavaScript up to 10% faster then even Google’s Chrome.  It looks as though Mozilla might have thoughts of eventually migrating this into their future Firefox browsers and taking back the ‘Fastest Browser in the World’ crown.

I downloaded it myself and didn’t see any noticeable difference, but you will notice right away that it attempts to integrate all of your present Firefox extensions, which it will fail to do.  The fortunate part is that it runs as a completely seperate browser from Firefox, and could even be run side-by-side if one would like.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since. My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up. Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about.

    I’d rather stick to my Opera rather. Looks like FireFox guys are desperate to compete with Chrome.

    BTW, thanks for the share.
