New Firefox's Speed Will Smoke Chrome, Mozilla Says

Posted Sep 4, 08 12:07 PM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – The next version of Firefox will be faster than Google's Chrome, the fastest browser out there, Mozilla said today, according to TechCrunch. Chrome is 28% slower on XP and 16% slower on Vista than Firefox 3.1, which releases this year, Mozilla claims. By using the new engine TraceMonkey, one coder says, the browser will "easily eclipse even the fastest instance of Chrome."
