Speed internet browsing via a local domain name server
Anyone who has 'switched' to the Mac, or has experience on a PC, knows that the PC makes the Mac look like a dog when it comes to web browsing. This is true for all browsers on the Mac.
This is a subjective statement unsupported by my own anecdotal evidence. I have Mac and Windows computers both at home and at work and I find the browsing "speed" (the rate at which data appears, the length of time it takes for a page to finish) to be indistinguishable.

I agree, my browsing speed on my Mac tends to be considerably FASTER than the browsing speed on my husband's PC. Both of us are using Firefox, so it's not a difference in browsers. (IMO, Safari is much slower than Firefox) With both of us going through the same router to the internet, the connection speed isn't the factor either, although having a fast connection could make the DNS lookup from being noticeable.

Indeed.

For us guys who use old skool G3's, Pentium II's blow us out of the water when it comes to browsing.

I think browsing with Firefox on both my Mac and my PC the Mac is faster. With Safari it was definitely slower until the 10.3.9 or 10.4 upgrades. Now Safari is only slightly slower than Firefox.
Agreed
At work I have two Mac's and Two windows systems on my desktop, at my fingertips, which I use for network testing all day long every day. I don't find that browsing the internet on a Mac is any slower than in Windows, and actually, the ease at which you can provide additional DNS servers in Mac makes it even quicker when there are DNS slow-downs caused by the DHCP issued servers. |
