My favorite is Firefox. Why? I don't know.
The first one I ever used was NCSA Mosaic. That one was good because of novelty (hyperlinking and everything). So fast forward a bit and... I was using internet explorer 6. IE6 sucks. Its rendering engine is molasses slow. So along came Firefox. I downloaded it, installed it, and found that it rendered the pages much faster. So I pretty much stuck with that ever since. They didn't have tabbed browsing in the first version of Firefox I tried (I think). That is one of the features I like best about today's browsers. All of them have it, so there's no need to mention it. I also like the bookmark feature... Again no differences between the browsers there. Calling all Macintosh users: Yes, I know your system comes with a decent web browser (unlike windows systems). You don't need to brag about it. |

I miss Firefox 2. 3 is seriously a resource hog.
WHERE DID ALL MY PRECIOUS LITTLE RAMS GO? |

What? FF3 uses less RAM than FF2.

Not for me.
Uses 60-70% of my 2GB. |

There's something wrong with your Firefox. Perhaps a shitton of shitty extensions?
I have nineteen tabs open right now (usually) and it's only using 180/1024MB. Hell, even with the virtual memory (700MB) it's still using less than yours. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.
