    What browser do you use?

    I use and love FireFox but it's such a memory eater. I have a Intel Core 2 2,4GHz Quad with 3GB DDR2 PC6400 800Mhz which is a pretty powerful computer but FireFox still manages to slow down the entire computer sometimes by eating up all the memory.

    I really don't like IE and I can't really put my finger on what it is that I don't like with it but I am about to change to IE because this memory problems with FireFox are starting to get ridiculos.


    What browser do you use? How is Opera these days?

    Normally FF for the ad-ons, but always check things in IE.

          Sometimes, depends on what's running. Right now it's using about 350mb of memory. (have 4gb)


          It's something I don't think about until it crashes

                  IE7 it just works. Doesn't take forever just to load and doesn't take forever to load images on the screen and uses up much less memory than FF.

                      strictly IE7. I leave wannabe browsers for fanboys who don't know any better.

                                        firefox all the way.........sometimes I use Opera........I only touch internet explorer to make sure things are rendering as they should............and yeah sometimes the little fox eats up my memory and crashes, it goes on the amount of tabs you have open, I always have at least 10 open .....

                                                Love FireFox and use it as primary. But, of course still check things with IE and some others. I've been trying to use Opera more (because of the FireFox memory leakage problem) but I still fall back to FireFox and forget about it.

                                                  Firefox w/30+ tabs: slow, unresponsive, using alot of memory.
                                                  Opera w/100+ tabs: fast, responsive, using the same amount of memory.

                                                  I'm not sure why people rave about firefox so much, it has never performed well for me.

                                                        I always used IE for years until I picked up a virus last year that took days to clean off the computer. Now I feel a lot safer using FF.... I have a quad too and don't find it eats that much memory to slow it down at all.

I have a Intel Core 2 2,4GHz Quad with 3GB DDR2 PC6400 800Mhz which is a pretty powerful computer but FireFox still manages to slow down the entire computer sometimes by eating up all the memory.

                                                              I really don't like IE and I can't really put my finger on what it is that I don't like with it but I am about to change to IE because this memory problems with FireFox are starting to get ridiculos.


                                                              What browser do you use? How is Opera these days?
                                                              Opera is fantastic And once 9.5 comes out, oh man... it beats everyone A LOT in performance. Using Opera 9.2, Opera 9.5 Beta. Also got FF, IE7, Safari installed for web pages testing...

I have a Intel Core 2 2,4GHz Quad with 3GB DDR2 PC6400 800Mhz which is a pretty powerful computer but FireFox still manages to slow down the entire computer sometimes by eating up all the memory.

                                                                                      The browser will of course chew up more memory of you have live pages running in the background. By live I mean pages with that damn Flash animation junk! If you simply must have the pages loaded on a tab, hit 'ESC', so to stop the connection.
                                                                                      Also, how many extensions are you running, and what is the "update frequency" of the extensions? (is Gmail Notifier checking every minute etc et cetera) Increasing the connection time[slash]check mail interval will help lower load.
