So far from what I can read about them...

IE just sucks, really it does.

FF is fast, has great add-ons that really help, and those add-ons also really do a great job at assisting security.

Chrome has a great philosophy with its new tab implementation and distinct process threads for each. This in turn greatly enhances browser security due to the built in sand-boxing of each process. I really hope FF learns from this and incorporates it into FF4.

In the end I will have to stick with FF unless Chrome bring in the add-ons I require.

Well, tell Google and they will fix it.



I think people are overhyping the sandbox tech of the Tabs. Do you realize that each tab runs on its own thread and everything, openign enough tabs will eat up a good amount of resources.

Read their comic illustration of how the whole system works and you will realize this potential problem has been addressed.

phew, I was worried something happened to my laptop... not a real problem for me since I use the up arrow all the time.. I might make this my main browser now



I have 8 tabs open and it looks like it is eating up about 230mb of ram.



out of the five internet browsers that I have(safari,internet explorer 7, firefox 3, google chrome, and opera 9.5)
the fastest is chrome, then it is opera, then internet explorer, then safari, then ff3. I have 4 gigs of ram and have vista 64-bit. Also for those who have ie7, it is meant for vista so it is slower in windows xp.

That's actually pretty bad.

Yep, each one was taking up a different amount ranging from about 20 - 70 mb.
