Having a lot of ram is not an excuse for poor coding.

I like how long it takes to load up compared to IE. I mean, what's a few extra 10 seconds?

:frown:

The search within the page feature. When I am on other peoples computers with IE, that is the feature I miss the most.

BTW, 51mb.

When you have a gig of ram or more, who really cares if it's taking up 50 megs or 100 megs?

Firefox 2 beta: Built in spell check everywhere. I'm a decent speller, but my typo rate is pretty egregious. Since I got 2beta1, my typos/post rate has plummeted.

totally true only if they still use it when it's full of bugs and takes up so much memory.

Regardless of features?

I smell a troll.

you get the same thing with ie 7... except ie 7 is faster, doesn't bug out, and doesn't take up as much memory.

1. IE7 isn't faster.
2. IE7 does plenty of crashing.
