Browser wars gogogo!

Ime current Chrome stable is better than current Firefox stable, but Chromium and Minefield are neck and neck. I tried Opera once but didn't like it, maybe I'll give it a try again.

Can you even imagine what the windows source code must look like?

2 tabs open, both of them this forum: 106 MB. Probably because I'm using the 64-bit beta... I'm like the smallest target audience in the world.

Edit: Lulz, oh I forgot, I disabled disk caching. Everything goes in my RAM instead.

Is that a lot faster or what? :|
Mine has now 160meg with 7 tabs open, but thats nothing nowadays.
But I also installed some memory hungry addons that somebody mentioned here.

Still I think a 5 year old version would have a fraction of that.

Opera Uses between 80-200MB. That is with up to 20 tabs open (I am anal about closing old tabs) and it's built in FTPish thing and image sharing servers running.

leave it open for a couple weeks, it'll slowly creep its way up to 1.2+ GB but when you restart it it'll happily only use 200 MB for a couple days

still, opera is the least annoying browser. it's like being the hardest working mexican
