I took the liberty of testing all browsers on a Flash Intensive Javascript, HTML page.
Here are my results:
Firefox 2:
After all flash has loaded, firefox slows down incredibly, resulting in a Force Quit of one or another, sometimes It won't even quit~
Firefox 3 Beta 5:
Amazingly seems better but still amazingly lagging, I can click links and buttons but takes a long time to do so.
Konqueror:
Site loads, music starts, flash does not seem to show after a while, then the plugin would crash, and close.
Epiphany:
Loads the page, seems fast enough, after flash loaded everything locks up almost instantly and requires a CTRL+ALT+BCKSPACE to make everything work again
Safari:
Same result as Firefox 3 beta, but intense lag and buttons are clickable.
IE6:
Page doesn't even load...
IE7:
Page makes flash plugin crash randomly
IE8 Beta:
Works fine with lag, then after five minutes, whole system crushes to a half and BSOD is displayed..
Which brings me to a conclusion, that all the browsers were built with only "looks" not the usabilty.
