How many of you are using other browsers vs Safari? Back before iOS5, I used Atomic because Safari sucked and I wanted tabs etc. With iOS5, Apple added tabs as well as a few other features and gave it a big performance boost with the Nitro engine. At that point, I switched over and have been using it instead.
Now, I find myself wondering if I should go back to Atomic. I want to be able to define gestures for page navigation and download files to dropbox etc. My dilemma is performance. I've run browsermark in both browsers and the Safari score is almost twice as high. Does this correlate to real world performance? In testing a few web pages such as engadget, Atomic is about 1 sec faster loading. What kind of real world scenarios is browsermark testing? Will I notice the difference?
I know Atomic has the features I want but I just don't want to always be thinking that I'm running a slower browser every time I use it.
