What browser do you use? - GoFuckYourself.com

GoNe · 02-03-2008, 08:39 PM

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?

The Ghost · 02-03-2008, 08:45 PM

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

aico · 02-03-2008, 08:48 PM

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

Spunky · 02-03-2008, 08:53 PM

I use Opera and IE7

digifan · 02-03-2008, 08:55 PM

Firefox... I got opera, safari, flock too but nothing beats FF imho.

Miguel T · 02-03-2008, 08:56 PM

I also use FF and sometimes get this memory problem...

GatorB · 02-03-2008, 08:58 PM

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.

minddust · 02-03-2008, 08:59 PM

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 .....

Violetta · 02-04-2008, 12:57 AM

I love Opera!

Jace · 02-04-2008, 01:04 AM

firefox here, I have 11 tabs open and it has been running without being closed for at least 24 hours straight

it is only using 93,476k of memory

I have a pretty horrible laptop too
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
1.79ghz, 448mb ram

voa · 02-04-2008, 01:15 AM

I use IE7 and Opera 9.1

Nookster · 02-04-2008, 01:16 AM

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.

dozey · 02-04-2008, 01:22 AM

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.

Octopus · 02-04-2008, 02:01 AM

mrwilson · 02-04-2008, 02:02 AM

I have ie 6, 7 and firefox, i use ie7 mostly though.

Rosie · 02-04-2008, 02:24 AM

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.

CyberHustler · 02-04-2008, 02:34 AM

iMind · 02-04-2008, 02:41 AM

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...

DjiXas · 02-04-2008, 03:11 AM

By the way, Firefox memory leak is not a bug, it's "a feature".

zabijaq · 02-04-2008, 03:48 AM

Mostly Mozilla Suite 1.7.13 but still guite often these two FF 2.0.x, Opera 8.53.

IE is like 0,23% of time.

Bojangles · 02-04-2008, 04:29 AM

Any Real Webmaster should use IE...

Otherwise you will make sites that are not compatible with 70% of surfers...

lbc213 · 02-04-2008, 05:09 AM

Firefox and opera. IE to check to see if sites are ok when viewing in IE.

bobby666 · 02-04-2008, 07:46 AM

i am using opera since version 0.9
i remember the filsize at those days : 700kb

Scott McD · 02-04-2008, 08:12 AM

I use both IE and Firefox...

Paco, of Large Cash. · 02-04-2008, 08:45 AM

Firefox! Even though there is a known memory leak issue with the browser. Also, see the standard diagnostic page.
IE simply does not offer the same functionality that Firefox does, as well the images looks like shit in IE!

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.
