Firefox 3 Beta 5 vs. Opera 9.5 Beta 2 (Memory Usage)

April 26, 2008

Just after Opera 9.5 Beta 2 release, Avencius.nl decided to test Firefox 3 Beta 5 and Opera 9.5 Beta 2 Memory Usage. Who’ve won this race? I don’t know, you tell me :-)

    it is a pity, that last opera stronghold just fell

    it isnt the fastest, it never was the most customisable, and it no longer has the smallest mem footprint.

    By default Opera comes with turbo mode enabled. That means it will keep more stuff in memory for faster performance. I would like to know how Opera 9.5b2 behaves with turbo mode disabled.
