Firefox is good for its addons, which can be handy particularly for website developing. It's memory useage is annoying though, and I wish Mozilla would address the problems. Safari (for Windows) is good though, and seems to be fairly speedy. I'm not too keen on IE, the latest version is an improvement in that it finally supports tabbed browsing. I just wish IE would stick to web standards and didn't have as many quircks.

71,836K of normal RAM and 97,288K of the swap file. It's ridiculous. How difficult can it be to get Firefox to clear the memory when it closes a tab?

well at least FF has a online spell checker unlike IE

( another clue perhaps? )

Firefox 3 is apparently much better at the memory management. One of their devs has been on a witchhunt for memory leaks. Dunno if it'll affect the misbehaving extensions though.
