TechCrunch says its high on memory usage..

you are right...it does consume a lot of memory...even firefox 2 does..my firefox 2.0.0.9 with just 2 tabs open and 3 extensions(downthemall, adblockplus and flashblock) consumes around 40mb..way too high..

the only reason i am with firefox is because of the extensions and its faster than IE...

well yeah... 2.0.0.9 is a memory hog itself.. 30 Mb + with just one tab open.. and no plugind

opera is anyday better.. fastest one out there, and comparitively low memory usage while browsing... though CPU usage is higher but CPU usage can be compromised for RAM...

and i only hav 256 mb

Any idea if the Mac version has the native mac look? I don't want to waste 17MB on my dialup...

I eat only fool cooked food ... mind it

Raw food is the best dude. You lose all the nutrition with cooked food...

Don't waste, this doesn't contains the native looks yet

Ah thanks! I guess uncooked food it is!

Btw, I found the theme in the addons section. It's called Proto: *addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6050

Does the close tab "x" at the right of the tab not bother you ?

Heheh. It doesn't bother me cause I don't use it

Thnx 4 the info..gonna try this now.
