Fireox has many memomry leaks but for dev work its great
Im still a Firefox user - but damn - the memory leaks on the browser are crazy. I sometimes get up to 90% CPU usage and upward spikes of 60-70% mem usage - and this is on the latest version
However, for web development - you cant beat Firefox and firebug - the most awesome plugin avail.
I am a Chrome user as well though at work - but def prefer firefox

I use both Firefox and Chrome at the same time. Both have advantages and disadvantages. However lately I am getting a bit paranoic using Chrome. With most Google products lacking any privacy for users it looks to me like another tool to spy on me. So for most SEO tasks I just use Firefox (uninstalled the google toolbar and pagerank bar for privacy).
I fucking bought a laptop with 128gig SSD, 16 gig ram, I7 processor to fulfill the big Firefox god. It works now he can eat all the memories he wants, we still have flash problems now and then, but nah nothings perfect.
Sounds familiar......
That's one of my boxe's Session Manager in FireFox.
I too went to Opera for a while. But even Opera gets SLOW after I get to around 110 tabs.
So, I just Bite the Bullet and stay with FF most of the time.
At least in the last two Beta versions of FF it no longer loads every tab into memory if I re-open a saved session. Only when I click on one does it load. Of course after getting about 50 tabs active it starts slowing down again.
Lulz at IE!!! It gets STUPID after just 20 tabs!!! It SQUEALS at me with a pop-up that warns me it's gonna be slow as hell if I try to re-open a session that had more than 20 tabs.
If I was a Programmer, creating some of type plug-in or App that would allow me to have 1 to 2 hundred tabs open would be priority one for me.
My Finacee' looks over at my screens and just shakes her head. She once asked me how I could keep track of that many tabs and WHY I would want to. Needless to say her eyes "GLAZED OVER" as I started running through the open tabs and explaining what I was working on. ROFLMAO!!!

Hahaha, I get the same reaction when anyone sees my browser open.
You may want to try Opera again but disable disk cache, if you have enough RAM this increases the performance by a lot.

Chrome/Iron + Tabs Outliner works well.
Am I the only one still using Mosaic? You guys and your fancy "tabs" and "Web 2.0"
I've been using chromium exclusively for a little over a year now. Before then I used Firefox exclusively for many years. FF used to be the shit, but it's now barely usable unless you run it with no plugins installed.

Isn't Chromium just "Chrome Light"? What's the advantage of using that browser instead of Chrome?
Still use it but..
Seems to get worse and worse every new iteration. Sad actually- I'm doing everything I can to avoid using chrome (Tin foil hat still in place)
