Thanks guys for your input, cos I definately want to change, let me know what you find good with Aurora triumph8

I am fed up with the normal FFox not saving & quiting my tabs when I close it, I have to start all over again every time I start it up. My settintings to save are correct and the Browser set to True, so it save but doesnt. I have only had this problem since to upgraded to FFox 11. I see many are complaining about the same thing.

Gee why on earth cant they get the faults put right on each version, before they rush to bring out another one to compete with other browsers.

Well Im trying Chrome again, I tried it when it first came out but wasnt impressed, but its a bit better now and certainly faster.

One question though

How do I widen the width of the browser when it opens, I have the same problem with FFox and no matter what I do I cant make both of them wider to fit my screen, there is a gap either side of them where I can see my desktop. I never used to have this problem, it only started in the last few weeks

Thanks in advance

Waterfox seems to share one critical problem with FireFox: memory leakage. My Waterfox comes bare with no additional add-on besides those installed by default. I open Waterfox with 5 tabs and left it for 1hr. It ate up 2.8GB of my RAM.

All the browsers have one problem or another and they are so busy trying to compete with each other by bringing out new updated versions, they dont bother to correct all the complaints on the older ones, and so the cycle continues.

Here is one very serious and simple thing that Chrome forgot;

They missed something Very Important on Chrome Download-No Shortcut Options

I see many complain of this, and never receive any replies. Even in their help and settings sections on the browser, it doesnt answer the question -

How do I create a desktop & start menu shortcut icon for Chrome?

I solved it myself....... when Chrome is open, go to start menu and drag the Chrome icon in there onto your desktop......

thanks for all the info. as much as i love FF over IE, it is a huge ass memory hog and it annoys the hell out of me. i actually typically have 3 browsers open at all times: FF 11.0, Opera 11.62, and Chrome 17.0.xx. all have weaknesses and strengths, so i use each one for different things.

i am tempted to try seamonkey as i didnt see any complaints about that one.

nusuth, I always used to use SeaMonkey. It`s a really nice browser (I think the only reason I switched was because I wanted tabs across multiple lines and I don`t think SeaMonkey had this option). So yes...go for it.
