It eats a lot of memory because of the extensions you have. FF3 has said to fix the memory leak issue but to tell you the truth, it still eats alot of memory. But every curious joe should try FF3 b4. I love the new version of FF, especially the intelligent Address Bar that searches the site address that you already have visited by just typing a tag or keyword that relates to that site. Safari is ok but I don't think works with the new Yahoo Mail Design. <em>vance's last blog post..<a href='http://blog.vmyap.b2b.ph/wordpress-25-overview/' rel="nofollow">Wordpress 2.5 Overview</a></em> Thats one problem of FF2.

I have never experienced that with FF2. It has at one time gone as high as 200 mb (about 10 windows open with at least one YouTube video running), but to be fair I have also tweaked my FF a bit, because of the memory usage. Safari sure is smooth, and as a web developer I am very happy now that I don't have to bother all my Mac friends to see if my work renders and works smoothly in the Safari browser. I use all the 4 major browsers regularly and have to say Safari is by far the fastest, but also love Firefox's add ons. Opera is somewhere inbetween. IE - I'm sorry I just have a dislike to it. Sorry for the kinda of topic stuff. But it kinda comes with the discussing-browsers teritory. After all it all comes down to personal likes/dislikes, and what get's the job done for you.

I used lots of them (auto display of my internet bandwith usage, built-in FTP program, showing CSS styles and javascript errors, and many more) I love Safari because of the font smoothing and quicker to open + I can feel it smoother than Firefox. @Mr. Wallentin: My Firefox can sometimes go up to 800-900 Mb even after I've closed all of the windows except one :( Well I still love Firefox because of its extensions..

Guess that's why it tuns so smooth :-) I have just checked the RAM usage on this sucker: I have 2Gigs on my machine and it uses between 300 and 350 Mb … that’s a lot. 3 times more than FF2 and 6 times more than Opera ….

What I mean to say is that the wheel works when you spin it, but the function where you click it and it leaves that little circle on your page and you can move the mouse around and the page moves according to the distance and direction of the mouse from that circle... yeah, that doesn't work. Otherwise, it's pretty great. Importing your stuff from firefox is pretty easy and it's a lot faster than firefox - which constantly writes to the HD. So, Mozilla can, for now, suck it.
