What browser uses low resources?

I think Mozilla Firefox it`s the best. It`s a free browser and it has anti pop3, he can stopp some trojans and other viruses, it`s verry good designed, and has a lot of user for all the world.If he wasn`t too good, why people still chose mozilla firefox in front of explorer or others?

For me, Firefox uses less resources than both IE and Netscape since when I'm looking at my task manager with all three browser open at the same time I see that while I might have more tabs open in Firefox compare to the other two with the amount of tabs/windows open I see that my resources aren't used up as much memory 200MB compare to IE 220/300MB and Netscape 300/500MB when I not visit heavily animated sites. Another thing is that Netscape comes with many extra features like scanning software, ID protector, updater and pop-up blockers and while useful slow down my computer a lot at times. At the same time while IE 6 used little features and consume memory in the long run, the new IE 7 at the start sucks up your resources so much at if you have 512MB on your computer you will notice a large slow to your computer. I haven't even updated my computer to IE 7 for this very reason till I buy more memory.

Hi, it's good questions & replies from various members will let us know more things. In My View Internet Explore is the only best as comparison to others. Otherwise i generally use Firefox but there are some sites which does not work with Firefox but works with IE. So, if you will not worry for resources then IE is best, though Firefox & Others may have some extra plug-ins.

i cannot tell this, i am not good in programs, but i have ie, it works ok. the mozilla was recommended by many people, but i never ried it.

I have all the net browsers mozilla, netscape , IE and i anly use mozilla because its the fastest. After all mozilla is on first place as the best browser in 2006. Now mozilla its all i use

Well i noticed that my mozilla loads the pages much faster than IE or Netscape but I'm afraid that it isn't as secure as IE.So it's your choice

i think internet explorer uses the least amount of system resources, i've tried all of the browsers and internet explorer i think is the best in terms of performance and security.

i really dont know...im not good at this...

i think that Firefox is the one that use low resources and do everything that you need on a browser!

I use both firefox and Internet explorer 7.Firefox eats 20 mb of ram less,but i have 1 gb of ram so i don't have any problems with that.But it seems that firefox is quicker.

Right now i am using Mozilla because i saw the pages load faster and my browsing is better than the IE one. So i like Mozilla and i recommend it to everybody.

I think its Firefox which uses less memory.It gets up fast comparing to internet explorer.

Opera needs the least resources among all the three browsers- Firefox, IE and Opera. Therefore, it has the shortest startup time. It is also the fastest browser. Firefox has more requirements than IE.

I think opera uses the lowest resourcse compares to other browsers.

Firefox is nice, but i really like the browser called "Flock" its about half the size and runs 3 times as fast. I have it on every one of my computers i use. A NIce alternative!

For me Opera is one of the best browsers. But sometimes i have problems with some sites and i`m using Internet Explorer. So i think it is a good job to work with both of them...

i dont know...i am using mozilla firefox and internet explorer...i like mozilla most..it is fast and i dont think it use much resources

IE uses relatively lower resources than the other, but IE is not save compare to firefox, thats my opinion. firefox can control the scripts, whereas IE i had no idea at all, but IE can access to many sites where firefox cant reach =P SamSeiko

Browsers with tabbed browsing do consume resources the same way, but browsers like mozilla allow u to reduce the amount of memory being consumed. try this link if you want to optimze firefox http://technogeekzz.blogspot.com/2006/10/firefox-hackstweaksextensions-and.html

If you want a browser that doesn't eat much memory and resources, use Opera. I've been using it for quite sometime now. I'd prefer it over any other browser. =) Combine low-memory resource requirement, ease of use and nifty features and you'll get Opera. =)
