BAD BROWSERS

Everything else

>Chrome is just chromium, with secret google additions. You can't trust it.
>Opera offers nothing over firefox, often renders pages incorrectly, and is closed source to boot.
>Midori and Safari are insults to webkit.
>Lynx/Links/Elinks/W3m belong in the 80s and on arch boxes suffering from "X is broken lol that just how it is being bleeding edge" syndrome

/g/ recommends either Chromium or Nightly.

Internet Explorer
it's the number one browser for downloading other browsers

Nightly? Never heard of that before.

>>22191406

I prefer nightly because I can leave private browsing on so it doesn't save anything to disk, and still not lose addon settings

also the UI can be put on one line

and some other small stuff I can't remember, like better support from websites

few downsides: closing inactive tabs is cumbersome

>>22191551
Nightly is the dev version of Firefox.

currently opera, shitty dsi

speaking of firefox, why the hell doesit suck at memory management? It's crazy when I have multiple tabs open for a moderate period of time.

>>22191976
Stop using firefox 3.6

>>22191985
9.01

I use Nightly, and it uses about 565 MB for 5 tabs.

Luckily, I have an insane amount of RAM, so its craving for resources isn't an issue for me.

I am disappointed with how Mozilla can't into memory management.

I'm on Debian GNU/Linux and I'm using Iceweasel 8. It's a memory hog, should I switch to Chromium? I mostly browse the chans with 4chanx and watch youtube/flash videos. BTW I usually keep about 20 tabs open at the same time.

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
>that feel when it rises faster than my dick in a dick raising contest

>>22192122
Even with a fuck ton of tabs saved?

It might be adapting based on the available memory. As long as firefox is able to give up memory for programs, there is no problem. Opera has a more extreme version of this but is still the fastest browser to use on very old computers.

Depends on what you want out of a browser, OP.

>Chromium
If you want something that's very easy to use, very secure, very fast, stable, and has a decent number of addons, but don't mind it not being really all that customizable

>Firefox
If you want something that's somewhat easy to use, somewhat fast, has a shit ton of addons, and is insanely customizable, but don't mind it being rather unstable at times, and rather insecure without addons

>>22192058
out of curiosity, what is an insane amount of ram?

>>22192169
Well, it's not something crazy like 64 GB, but I'd say the 12 GB I have is pretty insane for most people.

I used to have only 4 GB, but then a snazzy deal on Newegg caught my eye.

Since this is a browser thread I'll just ask here. I installed Chromium 16 on debian but its giving me that Aw snap! error and it doesn't want to do anything. Any help?
