My Nexus chrome browser is magnitudes faster than a fresh Firefox install. I don't know what this person is talking about.


You need to compare to Safari and iOS devices to see the real difference.


You are right. I ran a futuremark test on chrome, ff and safari (iphone 6) and chrome was the slowest BUT in terms of actual website loading, chrome was faster than FF. Although safari beat them all significantly!

Future mark scores: Chrome:618 FF: 728 Safari: 2348

Actual website loading speeds were near instant on safari, followed by laggy chrome and incredibly slow FF.


While your test is exactly what is expected from iPhones, it says nothing about their performance on other devices.

Chrome and Firefox on the iPhone are not the same Chrome and Firefox found on desktop and android devices. Apple restricts apps that provide web browsing to use old and outdated versions of the native IOS rendering engine and JavaScript engine.

Not anymore. Chrome switched to the native safari/webview recently, so it is much faster.


What exact futuremark test where you running? The only one I found was peacekeeper which is "no longer supported".


Will do.


Exciting title, disappointing marketing piece for Honda. WSJ has joined the ranks of Forbes promoted content levels.


I hope this product finds a market, but from the description it sounds like a simplified NAS with a few additional functions. What will you back up this device to- another one or a NAS? What's the point of calling it cloud anything then?


Exactly how I feel. Now let the hating continue.


" a prayer before every job " Amen to that!! Dcp7040 here going strong for 6 years on 1st full size toner. I will never look at inkjet again.


I bought a brother dcp7040 and am still on 1st full size cartridge after the sample toner ran out. Absolutely love this printer!! Ink junk can go to hell.


Work from home. Poop any time, eat any time, work from couch, take power naps - life has never been so good.


I don't work from home, but we have toilets, food, couches and nap rooms at work, too.


The only US company I've worked at that was serious about a nap room was Groupon, but that changed part way through my stint there as the office became more crowded.


I am not sure about the nap room situation in Google's mothership. Here in Google Sydney we are doing fine.
