Best Browser Out there?

I run Firefox as well just fine, but I have 4 GB of RAM.

Hahah, for some reason the only time I have a problem with Firefox taking up too many resources is when I leave it open with my customary 10+ tabs for several days. Even then, on my desktops this is never a problem, but on my laptop that has a Dual Core Intel CPU in it it always slows down to the point of crashing.

I'll stick with Firefox because it renders websites correctly and Adblock plus rules. I just need to find something that will automatically alphabetize my bookmarks. Having the same bookmarks since 1999 has created a huge mess and since Firefox lists everything by creation date I get lost easily.

I use an extension called sortplaces, it can be set up to automatically sort your bookmarks by alphabet.

I'd love to try it, but I can't find an active link online at the moment.

I run 32-bit Firefox on XP 64-bit (eventually I'll install Waterfox, but I want to downgrade to XP 32-bit). Right now I have 32 tabs open and my memory usage is 331MB.

Google Chrome. It was much faster than IE and of course much faster than Firefox. I've got an ad-blocker extension installed, an extension that shows all my favorite websites when I open a new tab, as well as various extensions that make browsing Youtube a little less painful.

Hmmm it seems the dev behind it threw in the towel after getting frustrated at Mozilla's way of operating,
And apparently he also had the extension removed from the mozilla plugins page.

Damn shame, it works quite well.. for now anyway, with Mozilla's constant updates its only a matter of time before it breaks.

Never found what I would call a great browser. I switch off between Firefox and Safari, depending on the site I'm visiting.

I wasn't too keen on Safari, it was terrible on my Windows rig. Kept freezing on me.

I like Opera's UI, but it just can't compare to FireFox's massive array of extensions; I need my Downloadhelper. Chrome/Chromium also lacks that, so yeah, guess I'm sticking with FF then. Or Waterfox if it's fast and stable enough.

Thanks guys.

I think Safari hasn't on Windows hasn't been updated for quite a while. hows waterfox compare to firefox?

I use Firefox with flashblock extension in OSX and Linux. On my Linux laptop I can open 97 tabs simultaneously and firefox "only" eats like 1GB RAM and the computer works fine (it's a 5-year old core 2 duo, 4GB RAM, so it's not a high-performance machine). The trick is blocking flash, that's what eats up the RAM, not firefox itself. On Windows I gotta use IE (yuck!), because some web sites at work only work with it (I only use Windows at work).

internet explorer is the worst web browser ever made.

I use chrome I used to use Firefox but chrome really feels a lot faster.

I use Opera on my tablet these days, the rest was just very user unfriendly.

I finally made the switch from IE to Firefox but when I click on 'clear recent history' it says hit cntrl + shift + delete and I do that and it doesnt work and doesnt clear it.
