damio Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Firefox 3 is the closest thing to the best browser ever compared to the rest for me. Doesn't use up a lot of memory(that was Firefox 2) and the addons just make the difference compared to everything else out there. Ad-Block Plus + NoScript = Win. (It can also be faster than Opera if you know what settings to use)As for that article, it was accurate... back in 05 when it was written lol IE is still the mainstream browser, people have been trying out Firefox and loving it and making the switch. Firefox 3 does still use a lot of memory. Most of the plugins Firefox uses are built into Opera. eg. Chatzilla, or the imitation Speed Dial plugin (forgot its name) There are also some settings in Opera you can change to speed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried both and Firefox > Opera I ran some benchmarks similar to the following: http://avencius.nl/content/firefox-3-vs-opera-950-memory-usage And my results are similar.

4evil Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 1,000,000k Mem Usage. When it says certain web browsers which ones does it mean? i could say Firefox because its a MEM eater What are those problems with editing? I was lagging hardcore once when editing on Firefox. Switch to IE to finish editing, it didn't lag at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokemonfan Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Back to the original post, I recently tried saving my pearl walkthrough, I waited a minute and nothing happened, I eventually got it to save but it took forever! Should I start worrying now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
