Browser Choices: Between Firefox, Opera, and IE

For a long time Opera was the most compact, and feature rich browser of the three.
Built in mailing, chatting, calender, and of course very clean browsing.

It contained MDI (multi document interface) for the pages, reduce the dektop clutter, and makes it easier to reach what you want.

NOW, Firefox takes this place. With hundreds (or thousands) of plugins, you can do almost everything from within that bulky browser. The only problem is its memory footprint. Besides, sometimes, it start eating CPU power for nothing. Then it returns to normal in most cases.

So, memory leaks is an issue with firefox, but FAR BETTER than IE. The problems there are Security issues, not memory issues. The list of vulnerabilities found in IE is getting longer and longer by the day.


Conclusion: Firefox is faster and safer
