Opera is the best! :yes:

My computer is by new means l33t...

Opera has very low cpu and memory usage, give it a try.

Which new means did you use to make your computer 1337? ;)

i stick with ff2 ....i find the cpu extra use problem...it's from when i recover from a crash session (my comp crash no't ff2) it's use more cpu ...so i disable the that option and it's work fine now ....i love ff2 more then opera ( i love the add-ons stuff) i think it's the greateast browser in the world :D ....

...i have one question ....i look for an addon to do " paste an go " like opera (that it's only thing that i like on opera) ??

My computer is by new means l33t, but it's decent, I have 1 GB of RAM and a 3Ghz pentium 4 and it uses near 100% processor scrolling a page....

Opera has very low cpu and memory usage, give it a try.

That's not right at all, i have a 1.86Ghz CPU (Core 2 Duo) and it takes around 2% or less (it takes a bit more when you start scrolling a page with effects)

Did anyone mention Dillo yet? I'm an Opera lover, but it's not guaranteed to be extremely low resource useage. But it is one of the few explicitly lowis resource use full featured browsers, maybe the only one on Windows. Dillo etc all drop lots of newer web technologies to get to be such low resource use.

Well I dont know your pc specs but Firefox runs great on my system. 2.8 P4 with 1 gig and a 7800GS. Didnt like Opera. IE sucks.

You can use Fasterfox plugin. Move your page file to a second drive. Also what virus scan or spyware scan are you running in real time mode. I have AVG and it takes up no memory. I was using Spy Sweeper for a real time scanner but then I realized it was slowing things down too much. SO I uninstall it. You really dont need a real time spyware scanner anyways.

Firefox 2 works near perfectly for me, the only problem is start up can be a tad long sometimes. I found Opera didn't work for me.. theres too much in it :unsure: . IE7 is good, but i found alot of lag in the interface, specially when changing tabs or openeing new ones.

i don't like FF cuz it keeps freezing everytime i log onto my universities webct.

i dont like ie7 cuz when you leave it on standby and come back after an hour or so, it takes a while for it to load everything back to normal, same for FF.

maybe its my ram.. hahaha.. 512 just isnt enough.

opera is good, but everytime i download soemthing in chinese, it doesnt show up in chinese but in squares...etc.

If a language is is squares its beacuse you don't have the language pack installed.

I know in my Opera I can load all of the languages, but I use the MSI installer and I have the Aspell dictionary installed as well... so I'm not sure which it is, but I never have any problems.

oh nono.

the webpage and everything shows up correct.. its when im downloading like a torrent file and save it, that's when the filename is messed up.

My only guess for that is that maybe you don't have the language pack installed into Windows... other than that I have no clue about that one. :(

Aspell is for spell check, not for unicode/international text display.

the square blocks just means you don't have a font that contains the needed characters, which is getting less and less likely these days.

use opera on slow old pcs because it is lighter than firefox.on faster ones maybe use both.opera takes hardly any cpu usage.

thats really odd. my comp isnt exactly the greates and i dont really have that problem. im wondering how many addons or how detailed your skin is and that may be slowing it down.

as for a new browser, id say opera if you are worried about loading/cpu usage

10x for the post ....but i found the problem wich it's slowing down my pc ....when i open FF2 from a crash session ...it's use most of cpu (like 60%) the i open it normaly ....now my cpu usage it's around the 07-13% ...for me it's fine ...

p.s. i use the standard skin ...and add-ons ...del.icio.us bookmarks and DownThemAll
