Firefox with 10 tabs open:

IE with the SAME 10 tabs open:

Not to mention IE taking a LOT longer to load them.

Also, it's less happy to dump my login cookies at a moment's notice. You can clear the history with only a few clicks, as opposed to going through the options menu of IE.

I prefer opera...

And yes, there is a difference. Pretty much anything is better than the old IEs. The new one is better than them, just is much too slow/lags etc. And security is a big issue... if you want something with the Trident engine, use Maxthon. However, I think that the Trident engine is simply outdated, and Gecko is one of the best engines out there... And I like the Presto engine as well >>

Ooh - try Konqueror. I think you'll find it similar to IE with a good rendering engine ;D

Anything but IE, really - unless you have added security coded by your company etc.

I have both Opera and the FF3 Beta installed...

firefox is only better if you want a browser to look and do lots of things

if you want the standard browser, go with opera, it's very good, just not got the add-ons i want, but i do still use opera

Sux2bu, my Firefox uses less than 100k with 10 tabs open.

Besides, what does it matter, I have 2GB of RAM just sitting there ...
Screen shot please.

105k with 12 tabs.

Not really, why the **** would I want to see my homepage every time I open a new tab?

This is all you need for your new tabs, this or blank pages.

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
