I tried the site also (first time ever, so no cache has been saved before). The loadspeed was the same for both FireFox, Netscape and MSIE... (approx. 8secs in all browsers)

That's why I said it is "(approx.) the same for all browsers here" and not "it loads in X seconds" ;)

The reason why it loads now around the same time for you in FireFox as in MSIE, is because in MSIE you had already a cache of the page and firefox didn't (but now it does)... (that's what I mean with comparing in an objective way ;))

RE: The Best Web Browers?
Well...

I used Ie until I found crazy browser, a great browser that had little error.

But, lately, I found avant browser, and, although I dont like it, I use it as my standard browser. Why? Word to URL, if I type in uto it'll transfer me to the utopia login page (A game) and if I type alt Books it'll look on altavista for books. I dont even like it and I use it :P Its got tabbed browsing (like duh? :P), popup block (See before <--), and adfilters, which are quite useful too. It claims to be the fastest, but I think crazy browser is about, lets say, twice as fast. And lighter on the system, but still im using avant. I tried opera, and honestly despise it. Its way too large for me, not simple, chock-full and I dont like that. I like the tiny menu's and the screen used for what I want. Plus, its not free, so byebye opera. Firefox will be dled when its free (In one way or another). ah well, so was my rambling. Ill vote avant, it's the best ive seen, but probaly not THE best.
