Inspire my Inspiron!

I currently have google chrome installed. Want to upgrade web processing speed and find compatible ad blocker that doesn't reduce internet performance. What is the fastest browser i can install to obtain hard-to-get items before the restockers? Smart page lurkers... :S

Thankies to all information i can get. b)

firefox with ad-block add-on, makes pages loads MUCH faster, making for much more effective restocking.

While people can cite personal experience and benchmarks with wildly differing results, the reality is that there really is very little difference in raw web page rendering performance between modern browsers (user interface performance and responsiveness also varies largely depending on your configuration, history size, and other factors). The main deciding factor is more your hardware than anything else.

 

Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari are all excellent modern web browsers with good ad blocking support (TDN provides ad blocking guides for all of them). Hard drive space isn't that hard to come by these days, so I recommend you take them all out for a spin and see which suits you best. ;)
