Awesome?
"we say they are the cat's meow - which is an American expression meaning AWESOME. "
And "Awesome" is an American expression meaning what?
If you haven't been following the browser wars in the last few months, JavaScript engines are now the hot new thing to showboat ... unless, of course, you're Microsoft and have the kind of market share where you don't need to worry about what benchmarking nerds think. But for Microsoft's loyal rivals, JavaScript engines are …
Austin,
What you can be sure of, and it is a sobering thought to think of, as much as we may know/think we know about the present state of all present state of the art systems of power and control/SCADA, and Web Browsers,..... which one would do well to Realise, Present You with Virtual Worlds with News and Views brought to Life and Shared Digitally over Networks InterNetworking for and of a Crazed Reality on Earth, which is Chaos Creatively Controlled and Phormed by Shadowy Special Forces and/or Royal and Ancient Secret Societies and/or New World Order War Profiteers and/or Money Makers and their Bankers and Backers and/or Media Moguls Spinning Tales and/or Computer Programs which Sublimely Brain Wash Humanity with Advanced IntelAIgents from the Void and Vaults of CyberSpace and Viable Imagination .... is that it is always the case, and it is Perfectly and very Clearly Explained with the V8 Performance Engine analogy, that as Advanced as Cutting Edge Technology may be considered to be in the most advanced of countries/companies, somewhere there are always Performance Engines BetaTesting in the Field, New Systems for a Future Imagined and already Building in W16 Configuration....... as there are always Forces at Work of which One will Never know Anything as they Prepare the Future WAI Ahead.
But they do Spin Out New Technologies and Virtual Services to Assist in Man's Travels through Time and ITs Spaces and also Provide Global Operating Device Messengers so that the Path can be Universally Shared for All to Follow with their Leads and Help IT Build and Create with Unshakeable Beliefs in what is Revealed to Be Truly Imagined.

"From Google's new Chrome Experiments project:
We think JavaScript is awesome. We also think browsers are awesome. Indeed, when we talk about them, we say they are the cat's meow - which is an American expression meaning AWESOME."
I'm not sure whether reading this or drinking a pint of salted water would be a faster way to induce vomiting. And some people still think Google is cool?
I suspect the next IE JavaScript engine will involve .NET 4.0, with the all-new, all-singing, all-dancing CLR and DLR, and will probably make Javascript interchangeable with IronPython, IronRuby and any other language available with added Iron.
Which means it won't land until after those do, and I'm still waiting for my not-in-a-VM beta of VS2010 so that's looking more and more like next year.
Well done for not spotting that w3schools is a techie site and its likely that only people visiting it will be other techies/people doing web development.
So the results will likely be skewed AWAY from ie because of that, do the same tests on a sports site for example adn ti would probably be a lot less firefox.
Why do the IE haters not get the idea of market segements?
Those stats from w3schools, as has been stated, are well and truly scewed. My work website has just under 80% IE browser visits - about a quarter of which are still IE6 or older.
IE8 is still fairly rubbish (I've been using it since beta) - but to be fair to MS - it is LESS rubbish than any previous version... personally I'd be quite happy if MS forced a browser update out automatically and finally killed off most of those ancient IE installs still plaguing the web.

But of course we could, lansalot, but the eternal questions are always should we? I am at a loss to conclude other than the result of an anti-intelligence program, whether artificial or otherwise, would be a certifiable madness, and as such, in such would there be no great interest or lucrative funding streams. Although should it be otherwise, then one could and/or would be Tempted with such Artificial Rewards to ...... well, Hexplore the Field for the Sheer Hell of IT.

That's a big story - since January 2009, Firefox's user share has been higher than all versions of IE combined. The problem is, the stats are based only on visitors to W3schools - who tend to be web developers, who tend to use standards compliant browsers. Unfortunately it's not an overall indicator of browser usage.
