This graph is blatantly lying. IE uses more memory than Firefox!!??!! I don't know about Vista and Firefox 3, but I have seen many PC's running XP with IE 6/7 and Firefox 2. IE with twelve dozen tabs open won't take as much memory as Firefox that has been in use for an hour through many tabs, even though only 3 or 4 are currently open. I have screenshots of my Firefox 2 using 700MB out of 1.2GB RAM. It's a known bug--they call it a feature that increases speed, but it obviously doesn't. I am positive about the following (Firefox 2, Opera 9.5) Memory Usage: Firefox>Opera>IE Browsing Speed: Opera>IE6>IE7>Firefox 2>Firefox 1.5 (Gmail however works best in Firefox) Launching Time: IE>Opera>Firefox Security: Opera~Firefox>>IE7>IE6 Firefox is a bad browser in almost every way, except that it has amazing options for add-ons. One can never get rid of IE and Firefox because they are so widely used that most pages are designed keeping them in mind. Otherwise, as someone's mentioned before me, Opera Rules! What? This graph is blatantly lying. IE uses more memory than Firefox!!??!! I don’t know about Vista and Firefox 3, but I have seen many PC’s running XP with IE 6/7 and Firefox 2.

I am positive about the following (Firefox 2, Opera 9.5)

Memory Usage: Firefox>Opera>IE
Browsing Speed: Opera>IE6>IE7>Firefox 2>Firefox 1.5

Firefox is a bad browser in almost every way, except that it has amazing options for add-ons. One can never get rid of IE and Firefox because they are so widely used that most pages are designed keeping them in mind.

Otherwise, as someone’s mentioned before me, Opera Rules!
