IE or Mozilla?

[ph15h]

omg ff3 is a resource hog. 876MB of Memory used? That's like close to 50% of my RAM

yeah i guess its true that mozilla is a resource hog but

maybe it would depend on the amount of tabs opened, what are in those tabs,

and the amount of customization done to the browser by using add on and themes

so far my mozilla only uses around 100k+ if i leave it on for a certain duration

but i would still prefer it over Internet Explorer by far

Well This Fight Never End's MozillaFirefox have some advantages and thats is Plugins (Addons)...
Put it all together now Firefox 3 is taking much more Memory then IE 7 not 8
**Note** Please Dont install IE8 till its final Release..
Mozilla is has plus point almost all feature but still Memory 100 to 120

Erm. I would suggest to you that you use the newest version of Opera. While its not as widely used as the other main browser Opera has the best timing of any browser on the market. I will post some basic info for you.

-----------------
Cold: First Start
Warm: Second and any there after
Rendering CSS: Time it takes to properly load CSS library
Rendering Tables: Time it takes to properly load javascript libraries
Script Speed: How fast scripts load.. like dhtml n' stuff
Rendering Images: How fast browser loads images properly
History: Stuff like browser cache..
-----------------

Opera 9.01
Cold:2.47
Warm:2.24
Rendering CSS:0.84
Rendering Table:1.08
Script Speed:13
Multiple Images:1.44
History:8


Opera 6.03
Cold:3.74
Warm:1.66
Rendering CSS:0.75
Rendering Tables:0.72
Scrip Speed:64
Rendering Images:2.94
History:15


Mozilla 1.8
Cold:11.94
Warm:2.48
Rendering CSS:1.49
Rendering Tables:1.39
Script Speed:23
Rendering Images:2.00
History:40


IE 6.0
Cold:6.99
Warm:1.77
Rendering CSS:1.32
Rendering Tables:1.33
Script Speed:60
Rendering Images:2.32
History:32


Firefox 2.0
Cold:11.64
Warm:3.05
Rendering CSS:1.71

there it's eating >900MB, luckily I have 4GB of memory.
I hardly never use IE, but Firefox and sometimes Opera, Firefox indeed uses much memory, 2.0 used to eat all memory I had in my Linux machine, but still I'm using ff, I'm used to it, so why change.

Better use of efficiency while connecting to the interweb? Opera is a pretty awesome browser. Their newest version has a lot of the same features that FF has... now I only wish Google Chrome had been developed better.. then this would not be an issue at all.

I dont use IE anymore. After using FF3 i never touch IE anymore. FF's got everything i need. I think its going to be hard for me to replace anything other than FF because i need the plugins only ff has

Mozilla rules :3 Love the Speed Dial addon. Its the ultimate addon for people who visite certain sites a lot and who are to lazy to press Favorites xD
