Google Chrome is known for handling JavaScript very well. If you have ever browsed Facebook.com on Firefox it is ridiculously slow. This was from the main reason JavaScript wasn’t handled well on the browser. Mozilla has seemed to fix it in their new update Firefox 4.0. I had some tests done with the browsers and ran the acid3 test. Google Chrome came up with 100/100 meaning it passed.  The acid3 test is full JavaScript rendering. Now when I ran the test on Firef0x 3.0 it was 20/100. Meaning JavaScript most likely was really slow on Firefox. I ran the test on Firefox 4.0 and the results were 97/100 with the second to last color gray instead of blue. Firefox 4.0 is going to be a giant leap from 3.0 and a lot of people might even switch browsers? Another thing Firefox has included was Opera/Google Chrome interface. If you see the Back/Forward buttons and home and refresh it looks a lot like Opera and the tabs were enhanced greatly bringing on a sleeker look for the Aero theme on Windows. I have provided a video showing tests of the browsers. Take notice of the new Firefox 4.0 interface. Would you switch browsers for this?
