Check out Firefox Minefield

Do you think Google Chrome is faster than current Firefox 3?

Firefox Minefield runs a separate system so you won’t have to do anything to your current Firefox installation.  Don’t expect too much in terms of stability, because it’s in its alpha stages… One of the things that people talked about chrome was that how fast it can execute JavaScript.

Google Chrome got popular due to its fast javascript engine. This future Firefox is even faster.  Soon, firefox is going to adapt this new JavaScript engine.

As it says on minefield project page:

Warning: This is NOT A FINAL OR PRE-RELEASE VERSION. This program is provided without any guarantees of stability, so please use it at your own risk. It is recommended that you back up your profile regularly, as there may be bugs that corrupt your data. If that sounds scary, you’d probably be better off with the latest version of Firefox that you can download here.

Minefield is same as Firefox except that it has a new javascript engine and it doesn’t support any of the add-ons that you use in Firefox. Minefield is testing purpose only.  It’s really worth it to install it and check the new javascript engine.
