    I've been a long time convert to Firefox but recently its been beginning to annoy me, especially in relation to memory leaks. After a browsing session where multiple tabs have been opened and closed I often find it hogging well over a gig of ram. This is in turn affecting performance naturally, so I've decided to get rid of FF. What is the best browser out there?

    opera, chrome.

    i used to be a FF fan, but im now at the point where i don't like installing anything extra on my pc unless completly necessary so i stick with ie8

    might be worth while reading this fella if you want to stick with ff

    Chrome seems to be moving towards the extensibility that has made FF my favourite browser for a long time, though it's not yet at a point where I'd replace FF.

    That said, the Browser Choice update may offer you significantly more alternatives.

    Sadly Firefox goes through a cycle of good and bad performance. New Release versions (2, 3) are absolutely sexy, until the umpteenth security/performance patch, and it slows like a dog.
