[quote Article Accelerator][quote incognegro]I just tried Shiira 2.2 vs WebKit's latest.
Shiira loaded Versiontracker.com much faster.
it's also half the size of WebKit.
Shiira is based on WebKit.
Typically what takes up much size in a browser is language translations. The English only version of OW is 16MB smaller. Another issue is how many buttons and how many button versions there are.
I'm somewhat curious why the size of a browser is very important. We're talking at most about 60MB. That's not even too much for many mobile phones these days.
