BROKE my friggin theme On the other hand, it sure is nice to be able to watch vids without Flash player.
Is it lighter on system resources or does it still consume? I moved away from FF 3.0.X -- because it continually hogged resources with every release -- and into Opera because of it's lightweight useage.
Same here I see no change, well with anything for that matter. It doesn't seem different from the last version to me. I only use a small amount of add-ons though. I just hope they can fix some of the unwanted pop up and spam even though I use ad-blocker plus etc with Firefox, I still get them on some websites.
Still using IE here. Until I want something IE can't offer I see no reason to switch (though FF is my alternate browser).
Because every site is programmed in HTML 5? The only difference I have noticed between FF and IE is the UI and I prefer IE's.
That's all you've noticed? You haven't noticed the addons/extensions? The RAM consumption? The heightened web standards? The speed? The open-sourceness? The security?
I havn't ever used addons for either one. I don't really pay attention to RAM consumption (that really is something that only counts when your trying to squeeze every last drop out of your computer). Web standards really aren't my problem or my area of expertise. Being open source dose mean being good. Security is controlled by many variables and I havn't had a problem yet. Finally, I will grant you speed, but the small edge FF has over IE really isn't enough to overcome how much the FF UI bugs me. Finally before you suggest modding the UI or something else of that nature, why should I go through the hassle of that when I am not having problems with what I have now?
I'm not trying to get you to switch, I'm just sayin. Anyways, addons are great. Seriously. If there's something missing from the vanilla browser, there's literally an extension that will do what you need it to.
ok right now i have one IE version 8, window open. obiously its starcraft2 forums .. This does now consume 96 kb in ram. How much do your browser use. *will reopen my browser to see if it changes, will correct if this mkaes a big change* edit: Strangely enough it says i have 2 times IE applications running and i only see one :S The first says 20kb The other says 42 kb how much is yours on?
