You're going to have a hard time with that. I did a little searching earlier because I was thinking "how hard can it be, the mags run that sort of story all of the time". Well, I was wrong, it isn't easy to find that sort of info. That sort of article runs every year or two, but if you read an article comparing the browsers from early 2010 or any time in 2009, you may as well ignore it all. Too much changes in a year WRT browsers. You'd have to read an article that was run in the last 3 months for it to actually mean much to you.

If you're looking for your Slate, that's one thing, if you're looking for a desktop or laptop, that'll be something else again, and if you're curious about performance on your Android based tablet, that's something else entirely. The probably won't be the same for all three. It might be the same for the Slate and a Windows PC, but not definitely.

For the Android based, try the standard browser, Chrome, Dolphin, and Opera. There seem to be followers of all of them. I think the biggest "pro" to using Chrome on an Android device is that you can set things up so that bookmarks and browser "stuff" is synced to all devices where you run Chrome. That might be useful for some.

Good luck, I couldn't find anything useful.
