There have been a few threads here on the Chrome browser - try the Search facility on this forum with keyword Chrome.
It would be a good exercise if PPruners reported page loading speeds to get a good sample/consensus of the fastest browser.
Nice idea, but way too many variables to be at all meaningful.
Base OS, PC spec., other apps open, browser plug-ins installed, internet connection type and speed, location (relative to site being opened), etc. etc.
The fastest browser in the world is going to struggle to open any page over a dial-up connection.
An old PC running a PII at 233MHz and 256MB RAM is going to struggle beside a quad-core Athlon at 3.2GHz and 4GB RAM - even with the same browser!!
