Last night my housemate told me about how good FF is. Because it consumes less ram and also have a number of awesome plug-ins. I'm a chrome user atm. Should I change or remain? Hmmmm

Your feedback is all welcome!

stay and upgrade RAM instead... FF slow

There is no such thing as the best browser.
Liking a browser is like art, it's subjective to everyone's opinion.
You have to explore each browser thoroughly until you find 1 that's suitable for you.

Like me, I always prefer Maxthon.
Tried several browsers, still going back to Maxthon because of it's functionality.
I don't use plug-ins hence why Maxthon is still my priority.

The latest I read review FF better than Chrome

Firefox? Really slow to start.

I prefer Chrome though,
but it's kinda taking up my memory usage alot

v45 chrome use lesser but compare to other it still consume the most

i got 8gb ram so no need worried.

Does 8gb DDR3 is suffice? Everyone knows that Chrome is eating up a lot of memory but in return, it gives a good speed reputation.

Which review? Mind to post the link here?

If you do not mention Maxthon here, I wouldn't know its existence. This is such an underrated browser. I read up a few reviews about Maxthon and Mexthon turned up to be more efficient than Chrome if additional tabs are used. I should definitely give this browser a try. Thanks for the heads up!

A loyal Chrome user for about 4 years here.
But lately, I have been using up my ram for photo/video editing. So, I can't really multitask. Ram macam tak cukup. Not to mention to run analysis on bioinformatics.

i think firefox is the best because of the plugins:
adblock, linkification, open image in new tab, flashblock, imageblock, etc

if video editing min 16gb.. ram price will continue drop..

Maxthon for live!!! It's not the best, but certainly have many great built in features. The only thing I hope they improve is smoother scrolling as smooooooooooooooooooooooooth as like Ms Edge...

*ahem*

Seriously though, is RAM even an issue nowadays? They are still quite cheap.

Some still prefer Chrome

but the browser version probably a bit old

In term of memory usage, now FF just about a bit less than Chrome

Ayam still a college student. 2 pieces of 8gb ddr3 is no cheap to me.

FF is getting better from what I read through the links. FF provides so many awesome plug-ins. Perhaps I should really give a try on a few browsers. Thanks for the feedback guys! I appreciate them very much.

My laptop only have 4GB of RAM. It is enough. usually 6 to 10 tabs unclosed, With CS Source sometimes, Mediamonkey.

They are few underrated browser. MX Nitro, UC Browser. And as @sHawTY said, Maxthon. But I'm always back to Chrome.
If the internet speed is slow, I'll use Opera.

Firefox used to be my favorite but I find Chrome much better built in features especially the language translation, didn't say Chrome the best one but I prefer Chrome over Firefox.

i have the same sentiment as you. i used to surf via firefox, then once i tasted chrome, there is no turning back. once you sign in wt chrome (with other pc), all ur settings, extensions and bookmarks will be automatically 'installed'.

I too find Chrome are more responsive and fast. Currently still using both Firefox and Chrome. Some plugins does caused browser to consumed more memory, do take note.

Firefox
IE

any lite browsers that consume less memory?

In term of lightweight, you could try Midori...

FireFox is really slow. I preferably use Chrome for windows and for android too.

palemon less memory hungry than firefox and chrome

Chrome is the best browser to use often.

https://chromium.woolyss.com/

Using Portable Chromium with ungoogled.

Nobody like Edge? I think it is quite good compared to the old IE. For me, it is actually comparable to Chrome & Firefox if you're not into add-ons.

Whether your priority is the faster performance, better security or more flexibility through downloadable extensions, the right web browser can make a huge difference to your daily browsing.
Here, we've put the biggest browsers through their paces to determine the app that best ticks all of these boxes (plus others that you might not be familiar with). And if you have a particular concern, then read on to see if there is an alternative that might fit your needs better.
The best browsers at a glance
1.Mozilla Firefox
2.Google Chrome
3.Opera
4.Microsoft Edge
5.Vivaldi

I'd go with Chrome. Mozilla Firefox is a bit too slow for my liking.

For websites compatibility issues such like print a PDF statement from KWSP, Firefox > Chrome. I really can't find any different between Chrome and Firefox but I'm using both web browser frequently in the same time. Firefox makes me feel slower probably is just because their logo designing. Actually they have not much different for me. I am using Firefox as my default web browser for my personal gaming PC, there has not much reason to explain why I like to set Firefox as my default web browser because I've been using it more than 10 years. I am using Google Chrome in my office PC but I have to install an extra Firefox for my backup browser because sometimes when I print bank statement from PB Enterprise, google Chrome won't load the PDF file. It will became to download a webpage but not a PDF file. I have to use Firefox because it has better compatibility on such online banking, KWSP, myasnb PDF statement printing.

slow: firefox

IE is fast because no one really use it anymore, if you dont install any addons, any browser will be fast at start up.

Chrome = Opera = Vivaldi = Edge, same shit, different user interface.
Firefox = Gecko.

not really. i'm testing on rigs with dual core cpu & 2GB ddr2 / 4GB ddr3 on 32bit windows.

in terms of ram usage (best to worse):
ie > edge > chrome > ff

Windows 7?
I tried IE a lot for fallback incase some website does not work, IE is the worst browser lol, most of the time it's just spinning circle, aka unresponsive.

IE currently is the only way to play youtube in h264, old GPU definitely need it because in other browser it play VP9 instead, will choke any low end CPU to death.

new browser will make used of Direct2D/WebGL with GPU acceleration, http://www.fishgl.com/ is one of the example, if you lurking long enough you probably know Quake2 and CS1.6 can be played in browser already.

It's kinda depends on system as well.
