FireFox 3

Question: Is it worth it?

[sachleen]

If you're using FF2, then its diffidently worth upgrading to 3. Apart from the regular security blah its faster and uses WAY less ram. That's a big plus for me right there. I hate anything (except games) that goes over 100mb. Sure I have 2gb, but I don't think, of all software, a web browser should use more than 50. Now obviously that depends on how many tabs you have open but generally speaking.

From other browsers, probably not. If FF2 wasn't good enough for you, I really doubt FF3 will be any better unless the only reason FF2 repelled you was the memory usage.

Alright, I'm downloading it.

[sachleen]

What did you use before?

[theoneandonly]

A combination of FF2 and a browser called Maxthon. I like Maxthon because you can click and drag links in a page to create new tabs. However, FF3 is becoming increasingly more stable and less of a RAM hog than Maxthon, so I'm definitely going to be switching.

[sachleen]

theoneandonly, you can do that in firefox as well

I know, I know, it's just habit. I'm rebuilding my computer this summer anyway, so a change in browser would finally be in order.

[sachleen]

I have FF3, IE7, and Safari 3 installed. I only use FF3 but use the others to make sure my web stuff works in em.

I'm assuming you use a Mac? How can you stand IE7?

[sachleen]

Nope, Windows Vista Ultimate, downgraded from XP a while ago. I really dont like IE7, but changing the home page to Google helps a little and I only use it when I need to... like when I'm bored and want to see how long i can use the worse browser ever made..
