Lifehacker have published detailed speed tests for our fave browsers…
Firefox 3.6 is out, Chrome’s stable version got a big upgrade, and Opera 10.5 is inching toward release. It’s a great time for us to break out the timer, process manager, and code tracker for some up-to-date browser speed tests.
You can find the results and the final scores here – hard luck Safari users 
If you are also considering upgrading the OS on your PC, they have also tested the latest browsers in Windows 7.

Chrome 4 and Firefox 3.6 are significantly faster for web browsing than their predecessors so would definitely recommend upgrading (and of course for security reasons!) For me though, Chrome is a tiny bit faster…
Interesting graphic with browser use stats from Jan 02 to Aug 09: http://www.michaelvandaniker.com/labs/browserVisualization/
Cheers Iestyn,
That graphic is pretty amazing once I got my head around how it worked!
Now XMarks is available for Chrome, I think I am about ready to move over on my home box.
Chrome 4 has bookmark synchronising built in, but imagine that’s only useful if you are using Chrome at home and work…
