Compare to Firefox, CometBird has the following additional features:
Online bookmarks(CometMarks): this function allows users to manage their books even they’re on a different computer/operating system.
Online video download: users can download online videos/audio/flash when they’re watching it.
Word translator and notes: CometBird has a word translator, it’ll show the translation in user’s language when hover mouse on vertain words. And the notes function helps users to remember/save information.
Coloured tabs: Tabs of relevant webpages will be categorised into colours.
Ctrl+Tab: Press Ctrl+Tab when viewing multi site with CometBird, a preview of thumbnails will appear to show all the existing webpages.
As these two browsers are very similar, I’d say they’re as fast as another.
… besides (and I quote), “he insists in knowing” which of the two is faster… (never mind that nobody’s being politely asked to offer their personal point of view…) pleaseandthankyou.
It’s quite unlikely for the BitComet team to do that, since CometBird is developed from source code of Firefox, these 2 browsers are pretty much the same.
Also keep in mind that certain changes to make a browser faster on one computer using a specific connection may not help at all on another, and could even harm performance.
Google Chrome has a fast browser. It’s not very stable compared to FF/CB, but if speed is more important then having it run stable without crashing, then you might like it.
