Chrome may be fast... except it makes my work PC hang loading pages constantly. Meh.

Plus, no adblock.

Firefox FTW.

You sound like youre 12. Im not going to sit and keep explaining why its a sign of bloat when one browser uses twice the memory as another with the same sites open. Anyone with half a mind would realize its not about the memory, its about what it signifies. I like FireFox. I used it 90% of the time. I, however, am not going to be a idiotic fanboi like you and give excuses to things that are starting to become issues. Thats not how Firefox became popular.

Have fun with your trolling.

You're the one acting childish here, trying to throw personal insults around.

If you want to call firefox bloated because it used 75MB more memory, go ahead. But, it is still as fast if not faster in everyday use. So, why does it matter if it uses a little bit more memory if it doesn't slow anything down? Sure it had memory leak problems in the past that caused memory usage to get way out of hand, but FF using 150MB while Chrome uses 75MB doesn't mean FF is bloated or slow. Even if I were to acknowledge it was bloated, what then? It still is not a problem, as it doesn't cause any slow downs.

Why bother from your replies? It reaks of stupidity and thick mindedness. I made my point. Anyone, firefox fans like I am or not would understand the implications. You're simply playing the devils advocate and doing a poor job at that.

Bottom line, son; then need to tighten up their code. The. End.

lol now the little boy is calling me son. That's classic. You called it a bloated piece of shit, and said it's an issue that it uses so much memory. It is not. That is all. But hey, keep crying about that extra 75MB you lost.

Ill take my third post to explain my position

Fanbois do not help. Apologists do not help. If you are a true fan and follower of a certain product, you are a damn critic of that product or you are a tool or that product. The quality of it has several stages.Usability, Ease of use, Efficiency to name a few.Code is dictated by what sells or what gets the biggest share.

The product that sells best now, and screws up in Usability, Ease of use or Efficiency now, will pay the price in % later on.

Firefox is rowing more inefficient than IE. They need to improve that aspect, and through that apologist fanboi fuckup, they know it from their own bug report forums.

I for one root for a renewal of FireFox.

Took me a while but now I pretty much use Chrome exclusively. It sometimes has issues with certain things I do, in which case I'll load up IE.

I owe SunSamari an apology. I didn't realize just how bloated and inefficient firefox is.

Here they are side by side with the same tabs open. FF has adblock installed but turned off to be fair.

Chrome: Total of 90,656K
Firefox: 93,600K

Almost a whole 3MB. That's even worse than I thought. Mozilla is doomed.

Uh no not even close IE is still the slowest piece of crap. Every time I have to load it up for something (which thankfully is quite rare) it takes forever to load, doesn't listen to what I tell it half the time (stop means stop now not stop after loading the page!) and seems to have a fun time grinding the hard drive while loading web pages. IE just plain sucks, has for a long time, and still does.

Ah, that really pisses me off. You sit there futilely clicking the red X, but IE just chugs along doing whatever the hell it wants to. F'n irritating....

I have used FF for years and have had numerous issues with crashes and have to reinstall it over and over, but I continue to use it. I tried IE with Win 7 but it continually freezes up and gives me that not responding crap over and over which is frustrating. MS fails at a web browser badly. MS can not get their browser to run stable for me for more than one day at all. This is even after a fresh OS install and nothing but drivers loaded on the computer. It has been like this for years.

FF has FINALLY run great for the past 6 months plus for me. I recently grabbed Chrome and am switching between it and FF.
