Using Safari browser can slow your system down as much as 76% vs Firefox

In the online technology forums, there is perhaps no greater battle than the one that inevitably ensues when tech geeks get together to decide which is better, Macs or PCs. A close second to that battle, however, is which is the better web browser.
On the Mac side, it essentially comes down to Firefox vs. Safari. The main arguments most people use in defending or criticizing a browser are
1) its ability to accurately render a page, and
2) the speed at which it does so.
For the most part, the research did not notice a big difference in the page rendering accuracy between Firefox and Safari. Most sites they worked on, including banking sites, work just fine in both. Though there were exceptions, but for 95% of surfing, it hasn’t been an issue. As for speed, well both browsers perform very snappy on both home and work machines thanks to high speed broadband connections, and while one may render certain pages faster than the other, it has never been noticeable enough to bother.
