The first webpage was served off a NeXTcube at CERN, Switzerland, developed by Tim Berners-Lee. He also wrote the first web browser, confusingly named WorldWideWeb - the world of web browsers has come a long way since then, more or less turning into a platform of their own. This puts increasing pressure on web browsers to be really really good pieces of software, and as such, ZDnet has a 7-page comparison of the world's major web browsers, comparing Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.

The value of such comparisons is somewhat reduced by using outdated builds of one competitor. As someone in the comments section of that site already mentioned, the Opera build that was used was beta 1 instead of beta 2 which might explain the pretty bad results for "the fastest browser on earth".
