(And I mean with operating systems too. It looks like a virus.)
It is nice when software is fast, but I like it more when it is also good. Inclusive extensions of browsers, because they are the reason for me to use a browser or not. (Opera lost much value for me because of the lack of extensions, although it is a very nice, speady browser.)
So I hope they don’t ‘kill’ the browser because of speed.

Testing a beta 1 with no new features is the same as 3.6 with some slower speeds. Now with a full version with GPU support, webM video, better HTML5 support, open fonts support, webGL 3D, new Java engine showing up to 5x speed boost from 3.6 Firefox just went hyper speed and is scoring at or above all other browsers in bechmarks. Now take that pure speed along with the vast lead in customization options and I am now a first time Fanboy of anything. It is the best browser by far now. You can mold Firefox to your needs and that includes all kinds of needs no matter what you use the net for. No other browser can do nearly as much in that regard. Now the speed is there even though the difference is measured in so small amounts you really don’t see it anyway. But still it looks good to be fastest and now I am sure FF4 beta 7 is the fastest overall browser around.

Speed is everything for the present culture.It is exactly like in daily traffic. You start hating slackers that wont move fast enough! Firefox doesnt give a shit about users experience, thats why you excuse with: speed isnt everything. Addons all browsers have or will have.

In process of isolating which one – not sure if it’s Adblock Plus, Flashblock, or NoScript; definitely one of those. When enabled, pages frequently stall and require a second click to load. Yuck.

I just was never enamored with the idea of adding on for this and that. Not to mention some ad-ons did not work well and all of them when combined bloated up the application IMO. I have been using Opera for about 7 years now. I like their Philosophy of having well thought out functionality built in to an application that does not bloat. Opera is very fast (seems faster than Chrome) and it includes so much (Mail, Torrent, Turbo, contact Manager, Unite, Sync Etc…) that I should refer to it as the Opera suite. In reality though most of these browsers are good, even IE has come a long way. I like Opera for another reason beyond it’s speed, functionality, customize-ability. I like them because they are a small innovative company that reminds me of the tech industry before the likes of a Giant MS and Google. I do not trust Google when it comes to privacy and I am sure that they will work something perhaps “inadvertently” into Chrome that will capture and store user data. Sure if caught they will apologize and promise to purge this info like they have before with other services. So for me it is Opera first and Safari second. I will keep an eye on Apple too for any future “mistakes” with user data.

implying that you can notice a difference in JS with a difference of 5 milliseconds (or something as insignificant as that)

Jaegermonkey rocks, some people jumps to conclusion way too fast instead of waiting and analyzing.
