From the theoretical point of view, there are many aspects determining the minimal time needed by web browsers to render a certain web page.
Many free tools to measure and optimize the web pages loading speed are available over the Internet. YSlow is an add on for Firefox web... read more »

Firefox with Greasemonkey only: The YouTube H.264 user script adds a link to view and download the higher-quality version of YouTube videos in page. You already know how to hack YouTube URLs to access a higher resolution and audio quality version of a clip, and this script makes downloading the HQ version easy. (See the difference between regular and HQ videos.) Be warned: This script can take time to render the links (sometimes it hangs indefinitely), and the HQ version isn't available for all videos. Once the kinks get ironed out, I'll add it to the Better YouTube read more »

Now that Mozilla's locked down Firefox 3's feature set, it's clear the new browser iteration will render some extensions obsolete. Firefox 3 will include functionality out-of-the-box that you could only get with add-ons before. Let's take a look at five extensions you might not need when you switch to Firefox 3. NoSquint: Never have to enlarge the text on that web page with the teeny tiny font size again. Firefox 3's new "Text Only" zoom feature doesn't enlarge images, and is smart enough to remember your text size setting on a per-site basis when you visit again.read more »

Photography web site Photojojo details how to get crisp, beautiful prints from your digital photos with Photoshop's Unsharp Mask. What's the point of sharpening, you ask? Digital cameras have a fixed grid of pixels, each of which can only capture one color or shade at a time. Say you take a picture that has a sharp edge between black and white... The single pixel that records that hairline edge can only record one color, so it renders it as gray. What we think of as sharpness is actually the contrast we see between different colors. A quick transition from black to white looks sharp. A gradual transition read more »

Windows/Mac/Linux: The final version of the Opera 9.5 web browser is in the open as of this morning. We've previously highlighted some of its features, including the browser-syncing, speed-dial- Opera Links, but there's also an integrated BitTorrent download manager, mouse gesture control, and a claim by developers that JavaScript and HTML render more than twice as fast as Opera 9.2. Opera 9.5 is a free download for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Opera Home page

You've already seen how Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer compare in terms of speed, page load, and memory consumption with Kevin's unscientific (but thorough) performance tests. Now the Webmonkey site offers a snippet of JavaScript that lets you speed-test your browser yourself. This bit of code calculates how long the page takes to load and render completely in your browser—so you can use it on different browsers on your own computer, using your own network connection, to get an interesting comparison. We took the Webmonkey code, modified it slightly, hosted it, and now offer up a bookmarklet so you can test any page rendering speed yourself with a click of your toolbar. Here's our hosted read more »
