Re: [H] Browsers
Firefox w/noscript and flashblock. I might not be the best example though, since I've got 32GB of memory and pretty much just let firefox use whatever it wants.

Re: [H] Browsers
That looks like a plan. I'll go from Waterfox to Firefox. They use the same profile, so that's one less worry. The other day, Waterfox was glacial, I did a speednet test and it was hovering around 9-10 MB/sec. I shut it down and restarted, and right back to over 100MB/sec. Thanks guys.

Re: [H] Browsers
I like Firefox.

I use Chrome myself and it's never given me any problems. Huge selection of addons too.
