Chrome vs Firefox 3.1 and IE 8
Usability: the winner is Chrome
There are no words to say that Chrome is absolute wiiner with its minimalism. The address panel can be used as search panel, no matter what you are typing: web address or search request and etc.
Additional Plugins: the winner is Firefox
At the present moment Firefox is still on top. I have never see so many plugins for browsers as Firefox has.
Speed: the winner - Chrome
At daily use Chrome quickly copes with processing of pages. Time of loading of an identical set of pages for each browser at the stand with Core 2 Duo have appeared minimal. And here on old laptop Chrome has appeared noticeably faster.
Speed of processing Java was tested by tools of benchmark Sunspider, in addition the volume of borrowed operative memory with one opened tab and with ten was fixed.
Sunspider results:
We opened 10 different pages (blog, news feed, YouTube, mail etc.) and measured the volume of memory.
Time of start:
Time of loading of page:
Other important point is stability. For Firefox all your open pages are incorporated, and in case of lag of loaded page the application will be closed completely with all windows loaded earlier. Chrome and IE process every tab as separate process that allows to close astable page without harm for other tabs. As in Chrome is convenient tab manager, allowing to supervise use of memory separate tabs and to close astable page in case of its lag.
Security: the winner IE
Internet Explorer is still the most secure browser.
Conclusion: The winner of all tests is Firefox. But who knows how i change my opinion when plugins for Chrome appear.

Jaiku Review
Jaiku claims to be about letting your friends or coworkers know not only what you’re doing but also where you are via its mobile component—yet phone support is pretty limited. And though posts have a smaller size limit than Twitter, Jaiku more closely resembles a real blog site in that posts get their own pages, where comments can be added.
Jaiku’s interface looks a bit more polished and more “Web 2.0″ than Twitter’s, but in many ways the two are nearly identical. Standout differences in addition to the post page and comments: It lets you add RSS feeds from your blog or photo site and has some nifty location capabilities (if your phone works with it).
Getting going with Jaiku involves three main steps: creating your “mini-blog,” adding contacts, and setting up your mobile phone. If you just want to see all public posts without even signing up, click on Explore from the menu at the top of the Jaiku home page.
When you sign up for an account, the screen name you choose will be used for your Jaiku URL in the form name.jaiku.com. Right from the first sign-up screen, you can choose whether to make your Jaiku mini-blog visible to the public or hide it. If you choose to hide, only your accepted contacts will see your posts. It’s all or nothing: You can’t choose to have some posts public and others private.
Next you add a portrait of yourself—you can either upload your own, which can be any size—Jaiku will resize and crop it—or choose one of the animal heads provided by Jaiku to represent yourself. Oddly, at setup, you’re not asked for your location, only at the top of a right-hand sidebar for your main page. And you can change it at any time.
Then you’re asked for your mobile number. At this stage in the setup, you don’t get a Next choice, but only a “Send your activation message.” I’d have liked an additional choice to skip this and start adding contacts. Mobile setup is further complicated by Jaiku’s being based in Helsinki. U.S. users need a Nokia S60 series phone, a java smartphone (not common for U.S. phones), or a mobile Web browser. If none of these are available to you, there’s a European phone number you can text your Jaikus to after activating your mobile number. I can’t imagine many U.S. users are going to want to pay for international text messaging just for this service. At least Twitter has a U.S. text number.
