Re: Google's new browser

IE 8 Beta 2 sucks down more RAM and CPU time than Niz sucks down bacon. Currently clocks in at more RAM consumption than the entirety of Windows XP in lab tests involving opening 10 concurrent web pages. Further info at IE 8 consumes more RAM than Windows XP even though I know Gryph read it already since i linked it to him in IRC. That's roughly twice the consumption you'd see from Chrome in all likelihood, a browser similarly "in beta."

How's that though? Little more recent for you?

Chrome is better than IE, hands down. In terms of Firefox, itself vastly superior to IE (</Gryph Baiting>), as Gryph states it depends on your level of customization. If you run vanilla Firefox, Chrome probably squeaks ahead. If you have fifty kabillion addons, you're better off staying where you are in all likelihood.
