FF, i have never had a problem with it, and the memory usage isn't a problem, not like im using windows 3.1 with 500mb of space... i have firefox with atleast 15 tabs open, chatzilla open, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Dreamweaver, Photopshop and other small programs open at once, and i can still play a game with zero lag or anything... if you are having problems because of using alot of memory, i think you should upgrade from the 100mb memory card you are using

FF and IE7.

If it were not for All-in-One Gestures, I'd use IE7 exclusively. I can't wait for someone to code a similar IE7 add-on (hell - maybe I'll do it). Despite the comments of the previous poster, FF does have memory *issues* and *is* generally flakey...

[ the GB of RAM in my notebook and 2GB in my desktop both agree. ]

BEST FUCKING IDEA I'VE READ HERE ALL DAY

I would gladly pay $0.27 per day to avoid hard to look at skins & noisy banner ads & flash pop-overs and weed out some of the members who aren't really webmasters...

in answer to the thread topic, I use IE6 so that I'm seeing what most others are seeing on my sites

I use firefox. I have to admit that in Windows it has problems. If you have your computer on for more than a couple days you will see it using 150MB or more of memory. In *nix or MacOS i don't see the same problems. It still is a much better browser than IE, but as a web developer I need to use IE sometimes too.

Probally not. Webmasterworld used to be free, now they charge $149 a year to read and post on their boards. Of coruse there are no ads, but I'm not paying $149 just to read some webmaster board. Is that the kind of internet you want?

well if it meant , getting away from advertising (banners, skins, banners in sigs, spam count posts and associated useless posts ) i might consider paying the fee

The problem is with Firefox itself which can consume up to 500K on it's own (normally 300K-450K increasing over time) irrespective of the number of open tabs. Tabs are not a problem - can have 150 open for all it cares. It's called memory leakage.

It's no biggie - just close FF down and restart if it starts lagging after a few days.

All the other progs you mention sure don't consume 500K between them all.

An how many site do you do this on so far? How many websites do you go on? You can pay for ALL of them?

As a webmaster who makes a living off internet advertising your attitude is surprising. A webmaster who purs his time, money and energy into a site so you can enjoy it for FREE is just trying to make a buck and you have the audacity to think you should get a totally free ride? Do you use food stamps too? If it were possible I would make a script that detects if adblock is on, and make those with adblock on, pay to see my sites. At the very least maybe I should just redirect ALL firefox users.
