If you are using Firefox 3 (or even Chrome) you should consider to take a look at Mozilla's Minefield. This browser (alpha version yet, but stable) would give a new meaning to "fast browsing experience"... Some Firefox extensions aren't supported, but riding the fastest javascript engine on the planet definitely worth a try. Minefield's install won't affect your Firefox, so there's no risk trying it. It's fast. Really. And I'm loving it.

I've tried it over the last few days and I haven't had any real issues so don't be scared to give it a try. Any problems, it can be easily uninstalled and you can just jump back to Firefox or your browser of choice.
Warning IE users, the speed maybe scary at first ;) (sorry, my little dig at IE).
Installing this as we speak :)
It's much faster than my regular Firefox 3.0 0_0
Yeh but addons do add bloat to firefox, does FF 3.1 use less memory than 3.0?
Saying "fastest javascript engine on the planet" and providing no evidence is suspect. Faster than Squirrelfish? Really?
Just downloaded and tested it in Acid3 ( http://acid3.acidtests.org/... - it fails at 93 (which is better than FF3), and it also fails at rendering the JS animation smoothly. The current build of Safari ( http://webkit.org/) passes in both cases. This proves that the author's claim I quoted above is false.
