RaisinCain Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a browser out there that is fast, doesn't use hardly any resources, has tabbed browsing, pop-up blocker & is stable. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaisinCain Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Got firebird, avant browser & myie2. They all use about the same amount on my system (about 12MB). Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoove Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 It isn't getting any better then Mozilla Firebird or Opera. I can't think of anything lighter to use. Either one is fine, both are nice browsers and come on how much is 12 to 14mb really. Practicly nothing. People are too obsessed with the use of resources lately.

Ryne Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I would use Opera or IE. Mozilla/Firebird use too many resources on my PC, but if that isn't an issue on your PC (most likely not), the by all means use it. Its the best out there. Before you yell that resources mean nothing, my PC isn't the greatest. It isn't getting any better then Mozilla Firebird or Opera.

bonobozoot Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 i have a 650MHz laptop and opera is the only thing with kmeleon and IE, which runs smoothly. firebird takes a long time to start but once on, it gets rolling and is fast. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotix Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 On a low end computer, I would use MyIE2 or some other IE frontend like Avant. This is coming from a Gecko user since before the 1.0 days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are too obsessed with the use of resources lately. it is when you're runnin' XP Pro on a 400MHZ Celeron (66MHZ Bus) w/ 64MB of RAM! 64mb isn't much indeed, but I was running Windows ME on my old P233 laptop with 32mb ram and I can say it wasn't that bad. Frankly I wouldn't run WinXP Pro on a machine like that. I think Windows 98/ME or maybe Windows 2000 would be a lot better.... I'd go for 98/ME. Then just stick with IE, since it already uses your resources, even if you don't use it, because of it practically being embedded in the OS (ever wondered why IE starts up that fast... well this is why, parts of it are already running in the background).

wiles Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I just switched to firebird and I must say it is very nice. It is fast and pretty small. Only thing that ticks me sometimes is that i need to get all the plug-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolme Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Got firebird, avant browser & myie2. They all use about the same amount on my system (about 12MB). Any other ideas? Try this. Open two of the same webpages on avant, myie2 and firbird. (using tabbed broswing) and see which one uses the least memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted a dumbass response, I would've asked for it. Why the hell should I sift through hundreds of posts just to find some info? I know how to use Google & the Neowin searches. What I wanted was to know if anyone knew of any other browsers that were out there that used a minimal amount of system resources (I already use MyIE2, Avant Browser, IE 6 SP1, Opera & Firebird).
