With Zimbra 5.0 we’ve introduced some newer ways to make the user experience faster with the Zimbra Web Client. We’ve talked about Jetty, YUI compression, and Lazy Loading, but now there’s just one burning question: Which browser is fastest?

Browser War – Part 3: Safari 3.1.1 & Nightlies
Firefox 2 took on FF3RC1, Internet Explorer 7 took on IE8b, so who’s duking it out in round 3? Safari 3.1.1 vs SF nightlies. Some might be thinking it seems like a shorter gap in browser versions – why not Safari 3.0 through 3.0.4, or even 3.1 to show greater self improvement? First, we opted […]
