Love Firefox 3. Customised to the maximum. Meyon, if you need pages to be loaded quickly, try Fasterfox add-on for Firefox.

Everyone have the their own favorite, in my opinion the internet browser now is very powerful and many adds-on can apply on it. Nowadays, we are able to read and hear from the internet browser, how about smell? :)… I think this is possible happen.

yes i’m aware of that, and i wish the memory can be allocated/de-allocated more efficiently… but one strange behaviour for IE7 on vista: after some time of usage (open and close many tabs) IE7 will misbehave, and the whole vista kernel will misbehave too… sometimes 3rd party (non MS) applications will start to misbehave too. FF doesn’t s seem to have that problem though.

anyway let’s not turn this into a troubleshooting topic…

i wonder what is to come in the future browsers? any idea folks?

@kyLL,
For my understanding, the network level only block the website accessible. but doesn’t able to control the browser functionality.

@marx,
The memory usage keeps is linearly to your usage on the browser. The more you use, the more memory have to reserve for it.

flock is yet another browser based on FF codebase but integrates social networking and web 2.0 features like facebook and flickr.

i’m running “only” IE7, FF2 and FF3 on vista for different sites. some sites load significantly faster on one browser from another, weird… the problems encountered including:

IE7 - caused the system to behave strangely after some time, memory usage also keeps growing…
FF2/3 - memory usage keeps on growing

i believe all those controls can be done at the network level. they dont actually have to be implemented at the user browser level… correct me if im wrong.

@Spammer, i personally think that safari is faster process on the windows based PC.. but it looks nice on their GUI design. If your line is fast then what the standard internet browser will give the pleasure loading result.

@kyLL, this is the 1st time i heard about Flock browser -.-”… What advantages it provided?

My PC have IE7, FF2 , Opera and safari ( uninstalled ) ..
But anyway .. i am still using IE7 in my home PC and office PC…
IE still prefer for the company office usage because they able to control the usage of the internet, enable a lot of security with office antivirus, disable the flash and i guess this is not able to do so for this FF.
