LOL. It's not *that* bad. I have Safari, Camino, Firefox, and Chromium open all the same time, and while I'm using tons of RAM, my CPU is hardly budging over 20%. The last time I ran an AIR app, I had to log in remotely and issue a kill -9 to regain control of my machine.

Good lord Victor. Reading that made me want to stab my eyes out.

Haha. i only ever have Firefox open with loads of tabs. Maybe Chrome too. But I'm ususalyy using Firefox across two different machines, too.

Enough to use it in 2009, Matthew? ;)

Sure? For 90% of the websites I use it'd be just fine. 98% of my workflow is xterm(1) and GNU screen(1). I use w3m and lynx an awful lot. And fwiw, right now firefox only has a RSS of 288MB... which is pretty decent. Navigator 4 was standard on Solaris all the way up to 9... (not that I want ANYONE to think that I like/advocate/use Solaris....)

Until there's a Webkit plug-in that lets me selectively enable Flash like I can on a Gecko-based browser, I'm always going to have at least two browsers open.

I'd vote for Netscape 3 as being the last great, lean browser.

No tabs, no Adblock, no Greasemonkey ... no way.
