I use firefox 3, it is a memory eating beast its doing over 100,000k right now with only one tab open but its still very good browser

Wow, you're right. I had two browsers open testing the same page on VGC. Firefox was taking up 140MB of RAM while Elinks (a text-based email browser I'm using to post) uses 3.2 MB. That's not a mistake. 3.2 MB of RAM.

WTF!? I never checked that out but no wonder its ran like shit on my PC.

Elinks looks weird! You really have to know your way around with computers to use it....I think.

I just Wiki'd it.XD

You get used to how to use it really quickly, It's only available on Linux/Unix OSs though. It is surprisingly functional, as long as you don't mind not seeing images. :)

omg text browser uses less RAM than full web browser! News at 6! Next up, text editor uses less RAM than word processor!

I use firefox 3. Too many people bitch about RAM usage but the simple truth is that RAM that is not being used is RAM that is being wasted.

 



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Firefox 95% of the time
IE to copy something of the net
Opera, in my wii

 

 copy something of the net?

 

I can't copy something and paste it to where I store my pictures with Firefox

Oh. Makes sense.
