    Hope this is the right forum!

    Usually use Google Chrome, I like it, works fine, but I was shocked at how much it remembers, access to my details and stuff. Don't like google no mo'.

    I also dont like firefox, never have, thats a non runner. What would be my best option after them? Using as little resources as possible!

    There's an excellent Google add-on called Click&Clean which is very configurable and does a great job of cleaning up everything.

    Well I use FF, but also SRWares' Iron browser. Basically built off the Chromium-source.

    I like epiphany the most. It's gecko based, yet so far, far lighter on resources than firefox it's not even funny. Of course, you will need the GTK toolkit libraries
    installed and compile yourself, or just man up and install Linux with Gnome desktop enviroment:pac: Seriously though, I wish I had used epiphany before firefox.

    *For the record, I think Chrome is tacky and lacks features, but that is just my opinion imo. It looks out of place on a typical GNOME desktop. Might look good under KDE*
