- zephyr42, on 03/17/2008, -5/+210This is a big win for the Firefox team. They seem to be getting the memory leak(s) addressed and closed nicely. I can't wait for it to go full release.
- badassninja, on 03/17/2008, -10/+194Awesome. Now the only true reason anyone had to flame firefox is gone. As for the Browser Flame-wars, I don't care what you use as long as you don't use IE.
- Furkle, on 03/17/2008, -7/+134Wasn't this posted last week?
- Virak, on 03/17/2008, -2/+108Did you even read the ***** article? They used the latest Opera beta, and they tried to use IE8 too but it crashed.
- wjrogers, on 03/17/2008, -9/+108Excellent illustration of how Firefox's memory management has improved.
- Virak, on 03/17/2008, -1/+80I don't see why you'd be so reluctant to mention Wikipedia's name, but besides that there's also porn.
- noahhoward, on 03/17/2008, -3/+78Agreed, as a web designer, if you use IE you are part of the problem. I still love you though and will accommodate you until the day comes when I can drop you off a cliff without remorse or fear of reprisal.
- WallnutBoy, on 03/17/2008, -6/+77Cue the inevitable Browser Flame-Wars. -_-
- dsmx, on 03/17/2008, -3/+62Ahh the microsoft mentality, remember vista is better than xp because it needs more HDD space, more ram and better processor to run. But you get so many useful new features that just weren't possible from releasing a patch for xp.
- inactive, on 03/17/2008, -1/+44Because the other browser became a standard and broke the internet. Remember the IE6 days and then get back to me.
- Sajentine, on 03/17/2008, -3/+45I think you just answered your own question.
- WallnutBoy, on 03/17/2008, -1/+42Apparently my 'cue' was too late!
- solidus636, on 03/17/2008, -2/+41Reading multiple digg stories?
- chrisharcourt, on 03/17/2008, -2/+36Dude, F5....
- leerayIG88, on 03/17/2008, -3/+36IE: has the worms
- inactive, on 03/17/2008, -0/+31Firefox 1: nom nom nom nom nom nom
Firefox 2: nom nom nom nom nom
FIrefox 3: nom - Beowulf2112, on 03/17/2008, -4/+35While I agree with your statement, where the hell did that come from?
- Nojiko, on 03/17/2008, -1/+27So if the majority of people eat *****, let's just stand by and let them keep eating ***** instead of trying to lead them over to the grove of orange trees just over the hill?
Right. Standard or no, it needs to stop being the standard sooner rather than later. Easiest way is to boycott it. - Loornadune, on 03/17/2008, -2/+28pssst, it is my business, because IE isn't standards compliant.
- hueyha, on 03/17/2008, -0/+25Yeah, and the one last week came directly from a Firefox developer's blog.
- leetdood, on 03/17/2008, -0/+25and that's why I started using Adblock Plus. Thanks, Digg.
- angrycat, on 03/17/2008, -8/+32I'd like to see the same graph after all the extensions required to get firefox to the same level of functionality as Opera are installed.
Sure, the firefox dev team were careful with memory allocation, what makes you think the neckbeard developing some extension is going to be as vigilant with memory? - cam503, on 03/17/2008, -1/+24This guy came through my Starbucks the other day touting a credit-card that benefits open-source projects.
Nice to see that people are starting to recognize the inherent genius that is open-source. - colincornaby, on 03/17/2008, -2/+24"Safari 3 and Internet Explorer 8 could not be benchmarked because they crashed during the test." Uh oh, being a Safari fan, I can't say that reflects too well on Safari...
- konforce, on 03/17/2008, -4/+26I prefer Firefox 3 over all other browsers, but even the latest beta struggles to run well on my Eee PC (XUbuntu). Opera, on the other hand, runs very smoothly on it. So while its memory usage is improving, the overall speed (especially on slower computers) hasn't changed much.
- dsmx, on 03/17/2008, -11/+32Can't wait for the excuses from the fanboys on why their browser wasn't better than FF in memory management.
- latova, on 03/17/2008, -0/+20Hense why its "beta". If you can't handle the fact that theres a possibility of potential problems then use the Firefox 2 which is stable.
- scrag10, on 03/17/2008, -2/+22Hey look Safari crashed!
- daborg, on 03/17/2008, -6/+25Whoa, hold on! People can't just use what they LIKE. What if they like the WRONG browser!
- cawpin, on 03/17/2008, -9/+27I've never had that problem, never.
- Ramble, on 03/17/2008, -2/+19Opera beta 1 vs. Firefox beta 4.
This fight isn't over yet. - Flagg3, on 03/17/2008, -1/+17Umm, has anyone actually used IE7 in Windows Vista? IE seems to have caught the Firefox bug, because it eats memory like no ones business now as well!
- frazw, on 03/17/2008, -0/+16Apologies I meant to say sumesh not zephyr, I fail at reading.
- zachblume, on 03/17/2008, -2/+18That's...actually pretty cool.
- TomFrost, on 03/17/2008, -2/+18Not using IE is more than just elitism. Not even IE 8 can pass the Acid test. The entire browser is a source of major frustration for web developers, and is an icon of Microsoft's notion that they don't need to follow any standards that they didn't personally create. Why support that?
- ronaldmonster, on 03/17/2008, -2/+18Couldn't the same be said about OSX?
- MScrip, on 03/17/2008, -1/+17When is the final release?
- stormgren, on 03/17/2008, -5/+21ie7 hides its memory use in other system files, because it's linked so closely to the rest of Windows.
- inactive, on 03/17/2008, -2/+17Thats the ***** problem retard. It is the standard when it shouldn't be.
- sonnybobiche, on 03/17/2008, -19/+32Oh please, compare it to the fanboys who kept insisting that FF was more usable than everything else even when it slowed their systems to a crawl with anything more than 5 tabs open at once. There are fanboys on either side of the aisle.
- CedEx, on 03/17/2008, -0/+13Guess what you get when you combine the two things you love the most? You get chickipedia.com
The internet is now complete. - theaceoffire, on 03/17/2008, -0/+13Alzheimers is no excuse.
- cawpin, on 03/17/2008, -1/+14No, it doesn't follow standards.
- herrshuster, on 03/17/2008, -1/+13they're also both betas
- daborg, on 03/17/2008, -2/+14But then we wouldn't be bashing Microsoft.
- judicar, on 03/17/2008, -0/+12I left it running for a week, came back, still only using 73mb of ram whereas before it would have hogged up 500-700mb.
- TheG2, on 03/17/2008, -1/+13Heres something to keep in mind though:
Opera comes with a ton of features built in that Firefox (I use it 95% of the time) has to install extensions for which bump the memory usage up.
As a web developer however though, this make me happy as hopefully Firefox will stop sucking up tons of my ram (the one real gripe I've had with it). - hello2usir, on 03/17/2008, -0/+11More oranges for me.
