IMO opera sucks. I tried switching to it and I even forced myself to use it and pretend to like it... but there were lots of little missing features and stuff that just drove me nuts... and it was no faster than firefox. I admit it used less memory, but then again, I don't have the big memory leak problem people report with firefox, and on top of that I have 2gb of ram.

I just tried Firefox again and photos load slow as heeck. I've downloaded countless FF plugins to date and I can honestly say that the few ones I've missed are CoolIris and the DownloadTaskbar ones. Stumble Upon was pretty good too though it's not necessary by any means.

Opera has this distinct feature that makes me salivate everytime I use it. The ability to add any search engines to the default one you're given. I have Napster's, Youtube's, LastFM's, Ebay's, Amazon's, Reseller Ratings's engines in one convenient location without even opening up a webpage.

I'm using FF here, with 5 tabs running - using 90,154kb

Sometimes when I close and open a lot of Firefox windows it takes up 200+megs of ram for no reason. Usually this problem is resolved by ending the firefox.exe task and restarting it.

5 tabs and 79,600 KB here

so I installed the ff3 alpha and it is pretty snappy. For 5 tabs it hovers around 75k mem usage. Pretty good so far.

You can add search engines on Firefox too.

133,800 6 tabs. Latest version has been the most stable for me. Last version crashed if I breathed on it wrong.

I'm sure mine is using more memory because I have a few add-ons that I refuse to do without (The session fix one I just can't live without). But I don't really mind. As long as it's stable.
