    Default Recommend a browser

    So I'm stuck in an annoying position of being unhappy with Firefox, Chrome and Opera...which doesn't leave much else (don't even dare suggest Internet Explorer )

    1) Firefox stops responding frequently and is chowing my resources like there's no tomorrow. I'm currently using it but it's getting to the point of extreme frustration now.
    2) Chrome, whilst awesome, grinds to a halt when I open around 4 tabs. It, too, stops responding then. It also lacks the full WSIWIG editing on forums.
    3) Opera wants to load the entire page before displaying it, instead of loading it in parts (is it possible to change this somehow?)

    So that doesn't leave much else. I just basically want something quick, that works with most websites and supports full forum WSIWIG editing (when you embolden a word it actually emboldens it and doesn't wrap it in code).

    Thanks

    I'll have a look at those.

    It's time for a new PC. This POS is going to have my fist in it soon.

    My bad :P. With two tabs open and a few add-ons my firefox is only using around 50 mb. Not sure why yours is so bad.

    I can't live without Opera's Mouse Gestures but I was a little confused when you mentioned that Opera wants to load the entire page before displaying it, whereas with my Opera (version 10.0) the page always loads in fragments and the first things to load are shown on the screen first.

    If I was gonna have to recommend a browser it would have to be Opera.
