How much memory does it eat up? I might switch to it if it isn't a lot. Firefox memory leaks so easily that it's ridiculous.


On my machine Chrome uses maybe 50k Kb when I use it while Fx tends to take 150k Kb.
But Fx also does a lot more and handles popup attacks and annoying ads better. Chrome's plugins are also hit-and-miss.

I used to have problems with Fx taking 500k Kb before I upgraded my RAM.
And no matter what the more tabs you have open in Chrome the more RAM you will use up. It creates multiple executables that all use 50k Kb except for the root one which uses around 20k Kb.

Firefox is my browser of choice.

This reminds me of how my little brother always says "Browser" instead of "Bowser"

Safari for me. I like how the bookmarks are handled, and it runs the fastest on both our home desktop, and my laptop. Firefox, rarely, if Safari isn't working for whatever reason. Chorme and IE I personally stay away from.

I use Firefox mainly. It's better than IE, that's the only reason I use it.

I use Chrome otherwise. In the case that something doesn't work in FF.

Yeah, same here. I remember shaking my fist at Internet Explorer for killing my browser.

Only addition is I lingered on Seamonkey a while before finally going to Firefox. (Couldn't give up the suite life, heh, at least until it became a corrupted glitchy mess...)

I've been using Firefox for over five years now. It does what I need it to do and it has the add-ons that I want so I stuck with it .

You are aware that Google is a search engine? Not a browser on its own?

Norman Google sounds like someone's name, as in "Google was founded by Norman Google".

And yeah. A browser is a program on your hard drive that allows you to access Web pages; for instance, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, or Safari. A search engine is a Web site in which you enter terms that you want to search for, examples being Google, Bing, or Yahoo! Search.

I use Firefox as well, as it has a lot of add-ons and ... well, because of all those reasons stated here so often.
On the other hand I have the three other major browsers, Opera, Chrome and IE9 beta (now RC) installed on Win 7 x64 as well.

As for Internet Explorer 9, I have to admit it is really a step up from previous versions. Finally this thing became usuable again actually. IE8 had some good ideas, but as well as failing some web standard tests it was not too fast if you used it on (Java)Script heavy pages for instance. The IE9 beta had issues on my machine if I opened up YouTube and Facebook, very often causing the IE9 to hang (creates an "Application Hang" entry in Event Viewer, not a problem with IE Flash plugin, as other pages work perfectly) or just crashes. On other pages, however, it seemed to work properly. And since the recent RC release it never crashed on me, seems like it fixed that bug. Really liking the speed, and although those proprietary tech demos for IE9 seem to be useless, it actually just feels good on those pages. At least that virtual bookshelf thingy seems to be a somewhat realistic scenario, could be good for online booksellers maybe.

I definitively still won't switch to IE9 as default browser when it will be finished, probably Windows Update will offer it as an optinal download for all Windows Vista/7 users. Firefox just works, but I'd switch to Chrome quickly if some extensions got ported to Chrome and it got a little more customizable in terms of menu bars and such.
Finally Microsoft did their homework to improve that archaic browser quite a notch, although I think they should simlify that Internet Zones model, so that people actually use it.

Firefox itself just fits. Although it treats RAM like water, it still is not that hungry in my configuration (one tab - about 90-110 MB, several tabs open for a longer period of time, it goes up to 180 MB), as I mostly never have my 4 gigs filled up and that memory is meant to be used anyway. On the other hand this computer doesn't run the whole day used actively, so I cannot tell about long-time usage with Firefox and shitloads of script-heavy pages open the whole time.

@Zero One
I think they mean the unbranded Chrome client.

@Surlent
It seems Firefox becomes more efficient with more available RAM.

I use Google. Google predominates the market, obviously, but occasionally I like to go to Yahoo just to give them some business.
