[slwmotion1068]

how does opera compare with safari?

Love Opera ever since 4 years.
My favorite features:

Mouse gesture
go to web adress via right click
and the possibility to open a tab with all the links which is useful when you want to download pics from different address

But I also use Firefox, love the awesome bar

just upgraded to the latest version Firefox 3.0.3 & I'm lovin' every second of it. Firefox beats the crap out of other browsers any day.

Firefox is the best.

I had an early version of FF3 and so many addons didn't work that I reverted to FF2 for a while. But I'm back with the latest FF3 now, all the addons work very well and it's the best yet.

I'm just corious...how much mem does Opera use?

I currently use FF and it's mem usage is between 160,000 K - 380,000 K.

being somewhat of a web developer there is no way I could trade Firefox for anything. For the casual browser tho that new chrome is pretty sweet.

I just checked and I'm using a bit over 81,000 k. Have you upgraded to v. 3?

Firefox's main problem over the years has been its memory usage. Ver. 3 was supposed to improve that (and it appears they did, at least on my machine).

How many Extensions are you using (they will increase memory usage)? I'm using Adblock Plus, NoScript, Forecast Fox and Grease Monkey.

You may want to uninstall FF and reinstall. See if that makes any difference. Lastly, how long has it been since you reformatted and reinstalled? That would make a difference.

I have v.3 and I'm using only one extension. I reformatted my PC 3 weeks ago and thet's when I reinstalled Firefox.

I'm not complaining. I'll still use firefox.

And I'm not going to uninstall and reinstall it, because I'm too lazy.

Thanks for the tips and info anyway.

KA,

Just checked again and I'm using 71,000 k. Computer has been on all day although there have been several reboots (several hours ago). I guess I'd try a google search. I'll keep an eye on that though.

In that case use the IE tab add on in Firefox.

Now I used firefox ver3 it impress me a lot. The best thing is I can surf to any web without worry about adware or spyware will infeact my computer (IE is really shit).

The opara... I think it is the same?

 

[fousekis]

Firefox is best for me , has a lot of great addons

 

[Max Johnson]

Linky doesn't work anymore on FF. It used to be good to rip galleries and sort through them.

 

[C0BRA]

two options to try.
force the extension to work with the ff version
looks like somebody is trying to pick it up 2.7.2.6
