What's the browser that uses the least memory? I use firefox currently and it regularly takes up 50-100mbs of my memory. My total memory is 478mb so that's not so hot.

I honestly hate firefox. Slowest of the three, +clunky. Only reason I forgive some people who use it is the fact that firefox supports the most extensions. Extensions really are useful, I just don't use them.

Opera fighting~

if firefox starts hogging memory, it's probably because you've kept it open for too long. easiest way to fix it: pull up task manager, kill firefox, reopen and restore session

Those are literally the same thing, though you probably meant something else with the first part..

don't think you will notice a difference even if you are using the least ram consuming browser. there are some small lite weight browsers for linux tho but the renderings are not comparable against the mainstream ones.

What he said. My laptop was a slow piece of shit. I went and invested into a $70 1gb ram stick. My computer is now like 10x faster. It's not expensive, and it's well worth the cost.
Not bad for a cat toy.

IE6 (Eww...) is probably the lightest.

I don't think Opera is any better than Firefox...

Opera or Firefox 3 (beta right now).
FF3 is a huge improvement over FF2 in terms of memory management and speed (among other things of course).

If you want a fast browser that takes up the least space try, Safari
