Here comes another Opera fan. I started using it since version 7.5x if I’m not mistaken. I got fully attracted to it when Opera goes ads-free – version 8. But I do like Safari. Firefox? Well…

I tested Firefox and Chrome also, and I came up with the same results: despite all the buzz around chrome and how everyone was saying it was “lighter” it still uses more resources. It DOES seem faster, but I think that's because it's using more resources. And maybe customer perspective is what really matters.

Also, I'd like to comment on using “RAM” in your chart: I can only guess that it's total system RAM being used? Otherwise I don't see how it's bigger than virtual memory, unless Windows reports virtual memory in a non-standard way. I think Virtual is the real one to look at.

From my experience of using IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, Opera definitely seems to be the fastest, and most. Firefox seems best for widgets, add ons etc, Chrome for its interface, and IE, for umm. Don't get me wrong IE is okay, but has nothing to shout about…

I absolutely admire the Opera 10 internet browser from Opera Software Inc. I firmly believe the Vikings have finally cracked open a genie out of the bottle.

The Opera 10 internet browsers is so well thought and designed very beautifully so that even a beginner can have a crack at and have so much fun. After all it is a mobile browser design for the well connected mobile community from around the world.

I prefer Firefox over anything else. I have an older computer running XP Pro and Firefox defiantly runs better on it. Also it has one of the most important features of all, spell check. Some may laugh but it is a very important feature for me when I blog.

Chrome generated more threads so that the tabs, and the plugins are all decoupled from each other. In Chrome, if flash crashes, flash crashes. In all of the other browsers if flash crashes the browser crashes. Same goes for laggy tabs. If a tab is lagging, it will not slow down any of the other tabs.

What annoyed me were the 8 PROCESSES running! What purpose does that serve?

How many tabs did you have open at the time? Chrome runs each tab in it’s own process – so that if one tab crashes, only one process is killed, instead of the entire browser dying.
