Over two hundred megabytes of memory for a browser is completely unacceptable. Freakin' memory leaks.
You think that's a lot? Check my Opera after reading all new posts and articles. 500MB and beyond. It's not a leak, it's the memory cache, and you can tweak that in about:config.
I don't know any browser that won't use "excessive" amounts of memory if you surf a lot with it. With its multi-process design, chances are Chrome won't be any better.
Great process names, by the way. :D
Dude , you should see my task manager . When I use google chrome for about 4 hrs without closing it from time to time it totally freezes my pc ( and I have 3 gb ddr 3 ram ,i3 cpu ) . It uses a lot of memory . they are all the same , they all use a whole lot of memory if you don't restart them once in a while .
Windows 98?
It usually goes down over time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep Opera running for three weeks before MPC somehow crashed my system.Quote:

plugin-container is for flash, so that if flash crashes it only takes down that one process and not the whole browser. It has nothing to do with add-ons. ;)Quote:

So it's adobe that sucks balls? I'd never have thunk it.Quote:

So that leaves firefok eating 200-300 megs normally, maybe half a gig if you get extremely ambitious with the tabs.
Lucky the standard on modern computers is 4 gigs of ram installed, otherwise someone might notice something.
offtopic: what's happeing with imageshack images??Quote:

I've been having a problem in recent months, that when I close FF, the window closes but the process doesn't. I have to open task manager to kill it manually...& if I forget it sits there merrily eating up memory lol. I'm not sure if it's an add-on, or FF itself doing it. Anyone else have this happen?
Imageshack finished becoming a piece of shit with their last changes. I'd strongly suggest people begin using other image hosting services now.Quote:

back to topic, I still think firefox doing pretty good, yet it have this bloated feeling. To be honest I'm pretty impressed by the fact it can still run even with a clusterfuck of addons. I think they should have less external addons and more built in stuff. Also I'm pretty happy to see this “Do Not Track” ff 4beta, its just about time.
I think FF is still a powerful browser.
Keeping up with the advancement of hardware efficiency wouldn't raise the issues such as this though its kinda inevitable because still the demand is exceeding the supply.Quote:

Firefox and chrome with 5 tabs open consume about the same memory. Somewhere around 350 Mb .... i took a pic of how much my FF is eating after 6 hours of being on .... and its the same amount

The title of this topic is misleading and as we've probably figured out by now garbage on it's own. I wouldn't want a browser war starting here so let's not compare Firefox and Chrome at all. At the very least of it, this thread is advertising and is as such not grounds for an intelligent discussion anyhow.Quote:

Nobody is forcing you to use any of the browsers - the options are out there, the facts as well - it's up to you to make the choice and when picking software you should note what your computer can and what it can't handle, instead of blaming it on the developers. They are not here to cater to your every need as they are programming for a wider array of consumers.
So far it's still open-source; feel free to change it to your will if you don't like it. ;)
What's porn.exe? :huh:
Classic theme ;).Quote:

prolly porn.exe that is running several times and porn.sex that is bogging you down
So where does that leaves Opera? Engine is pretty good. Works very well if you are a mega multitasker like I am. Chrome kind of becomes unstable after opening 100/120 tabs or so.
How does that effect firefox.exe?Quote:

The only difference is that chrome loads faster
Slightly off-topic, but anyone else noticed Opera becoming a complete piece of shit with version 11.10? It crashes for things like closing a damn tab. :dabs:
I'm considering switching to something else, maybe Firefox.
I used to run a rig with only 512MB of ram, Firefox was unbearable with 5 or more tabs open Chrome on the other hand seemed to run flawlessly.Quote:

Firefox interface (old one, 3.xx version) + Chrome speed = Perfect web browser
I've given up hope for Opera a long time ago. They seem to pointlessly insist on their closed-source strategy and to be honest it doesn't feel too trustworthy.Quote:

Chrome and its botnet vulnerabilities needs to go before I consider to switch. http://www.precursorblog.com/content...our-permission
I can not agree with you! They both have its own advantages! It is not that kind of situation!
