Did you just thought what I think it is didn't you?
I didn't quite get what you meant (the I think it is part). Anyway, I was just kidding. I genuinely liked Torch because of the Torrenting feature.

Its a reference from one of Slim's song. xD I used it wrong anyway. Should have been "Did you just think what I think it is did you?" instead of "Did you just thought what I think it is didn't you?".

I think that's what almost all the Torch users will tell you. ;p

Yes, but has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I guess so, they were insisting to want go look more do anyway.

SRWare Iron -> Chromium -> Chrome.
Chromium ended up being slower than Chrome in my usage.

I'm just downloading Iron, hope it's fast and that I can decide where to install it.

This is from faq on their site:
Can't i just use an precompiled unchanged Chromium-Build from the Google Server?

This is not useful because the original Chromium-Builds have nearly the same functions inside than the original Chrome. We can only provide Iron because we massively modified the source.

In sake of browser wars, did some tests:

IronChromeFirefoxExplorer
Server #12.07 / 0.98 / 212.07 / 1.01 / 222.09 / 1.03 / 122.08 / 1.04 / 11
Server #22.11 / 1.04 / 112.09 / 1.04 / 112.07 / 1.03 / 151.88 / 1.02 / 13
Server #32.05 / 1.00 / 302.07 / 1.03 / 301.98 / 1.03 / 202.02 / 1.02 / 17
Avg.2.08 / 1.01 / 212.08 / 1.03 / 212.05 / 1.03 / 161.99 / 1.03 / 14

Format: Down (mbps) / Up (mbps) / Ping (ms)

I did these test with AdBlock and Bitdefender Wallet turned on for Iron.
For Chrome, I had AdBlock, SmoothScroll and Magic Actions for YouTube turned on.

On these benchmarks I had no extensions on. Peacekeeper also told HTML 5 capabilities, so I wrote those down as well (x/7 score).

Edit: Added Firefox

Edit2: Added IE, now I've covered all of the known browsers, and Iron

But people still used it, and I couldn't understand how they are all so ignorant with their privacy :/

There is no privacy on the internet, no matter what browser you use.
If you think you have privacy, you are the delusional one.

There are 4 known browsers?

In addition, download/upload speeds and pings are hardly relevant to the browser at all, but rather to your broadband subscription and distance respectively.

Then why does ff and IE lag more on twitch and yt? I guess browsers handle rendering and loading differently, it just doesn't show up on speed test.
