With Firefox 3 around the way i though i'ld use the results from sunspider (An javascript speed tester) and Acid 2 +3 tests (Web Standard Tests):
NOTE: I.E 8 Beta and Opera 9.5 Beta aren't included as they arn't ready and would be unfair. Firefox 3 R s only being tested cause its near the full releases code (hence the Release canidate).
First off sunspider: (Had to Run various javascript command, funtions and task at least 5 times)
Safari 3: 18012.6ms Safari 3.1: 6115.2 ms Firefox 2: 14032.0 ms Firefox 3 RC: 5471.6 ms <- WINS IE 6: 53148.2 ms IE 7: 55487.6 ms Opera 9: 13686.6 ms
Second off Acid2:
(Each Browser has to Render a Smily Face Correctly) Safari 3: Pass <- First to Pass Safari 3.1: Pass Firefox 2: Fail Firefox 3 RC: Pass IE 6: Fail IE 7: Fail Opera 9: Pass
Third off Acid 3: (Score out of 100) Safari 3: 39/100 Safari 3.1: 75/100 <- WINS Firefox 2: 50/100 Firefox 3 RC: 71/100 IE 6: 4/100, Gets Stuck at Linking. IE 7:Got up to 2/100 then crashed so 2/100. Opera 9: 46/100
p.s FF3 is simply amazing, too bad it dosn't have FF2s or FF1s collections of add ons

I will once the plugins I use are compatible with FF3. From those results safari looks like a pretty good browser aswell though....I'm kinda glad an itunes update installed it without my knowledge now .

yeah i have problems with the adobe flash plugin but restarting FF fixes it. proberly the plugin hasn't been updated for the new memory recycler FF3 has(i'm guessing by the fact it fails to load sound or flash movies). hope adobe fix it.

Update With Opera 9.5
NOTE: I.E 8 Beta as it isn't ready and would be unfair.
First off sunspider: (Had to Run various javascript command, funtions and task at least 5 times)
Safari 3: 18012.6ms Safari 3.1: 6115.2 ms Firefox 2: 14032.0 ms Firefox 3 RC: 5471.6 ms <- WINS IE 6: 53148.2 ms IE 7: 55487.6 ms Opera 9: 13686.6 ms Opera 9.5: 9091.8ms
Second off Acid2:
(Each Browser has to Render a Smily Face Correctly) Safari 3++: Pass <- First to Pass Firefox 2: Fail Firefox 3 RC: Pass IE 6: Fail IE 7: Fail Opera 9++: Pass
Third off Acid 3: (Score out of 100) Safari 3: 39/100 Safari 3.1: 75/100 Firefox 2: 50/100 Firefox 3: 71/100 IE 6: 4/100, Gets Stuck at Linking. IE 7:Got up to 2/100 then crashed so 2/100. Opera 9: 46/100 Opera 9.5: 83/100 <- WINS
p.s Opera 9.5 results are a big leap but the bloody GUI is soooo hideous.

Update With Firefox 3 Final Release & Google Chrome Beta
NOTE: I.E 8 Beta isn't included as it isn't ready and would be unfair. And Acid 1 isn't included as every browser supports it.
First off SunSpider:
The browsers had to run various JavaScript commands at least 5 times and the time it took to execute all of them was recorded (smaller the better)
Safari 3: 18012.6ms Safari 3.1: 6115.2 ms Firefox 2: 14032.0 ms Firefox 3: 5294.4ms IE 6: 53148.2 ms IE 7: 55487.6 ms Opera 9: 13686.6 ms Opera 9.5: 9091.8ms Google Chrome: 3112.2ms <- WINS
Second off Acid2:
Each browser had to render a smily face correcty
Safari 3++: Pass <- First to Pass Firefox 2: Fail Firefox 3: Pass IE 6: Fail IE 7: Fail Opera 9++: Pass Google Chrome: Pass
Third off Acid 3:
in acid3 browser have to complete various test based on modern web technologies. they are graded a score out of 100 (bigger the better)
Safari 3: 39/100 Safari 3.1: 75/100 Firefox 2: 50/100 Firefox 3 RC: 71/100 IE 6: 4/100, Gets Stuck at Linking. IE 7:Got up to 2/100 then crashed so 2/100. Opera 9: 46/100 Opera 9.5: 83/100 <- WINS Google Chome: 79/100
p.s Chrome has thrashed every body in the javascript but wait for firefox 3.1's javascript virtual machine (trace monkey) and we'll see.

IE 5 got 12/100 for the Acid 3 test.
