I give up. 2

I’ve been a fan of Firefox for a long time. But, the way I use it (leave it open for weeks, hundreds of tabs), it uses all of my memory. I’m serious - it will use 1GB of memory doing nothing other than sitting there due to the page caching feature.

So, I’m giving Opera a serious chance. I’ll let everyone know how that goes :)

    I’ve leave FireFox 2 and Flocks for the same reasons … But, check FireFox 3.0b2, it’s still in beta, but they have finally fixe the memory suckery problems :)

    That’s good. I tweaked Opera’s menus and stuff, and I like it a lot. And having just started my computer, VMware, Amarok, MySQL, Evolution, and Compiz all use more memory than Opera is.
