Firefox has always been a huge memory pig. I've noticed that even if I keep a ton of tabs open in each window, Chrome seems to use less memory and to manage it much more effectively. Google Chrome is giving me a browsergasm! And I love it! Pages load significantly faster even media-heavy sites like Facebook, where I play Farmville, are quite zippy. I just installed the beta of Chrome on my Mac and it absolutely screams! The difference between it and poor, chunky Firefox is pretty much night and day.

Yes, no matter how hard I tried to make things work with other browsers, I always drifted back to Firefox. And none of the Linux browsers, such as Konqueror (Opens in a new window), floated my boat enough to lure me away from Firefox when I was using one of those operating systems. I don't use Windows enough to have Internet Explorer as my main browser. I tried my best to really like Safari on my Macs, but it always left me cold. For the last few years, Firefox has been the only browser I use regularly.
