I am sad to see Opera with only 4%. Opera has always led the pack with new features and innovation. And if you have a question or comment they actually respond. Try that with Google.
All the browsers are memory suckers these days. (At least on the Windows side). I am running LL under VirtualBox right now. Virtualbox is costing 98meg. Nothing! One tab on Opera is 177 meg and one tab on Chrome is 149meg. And I like to keep about 5-15 or more tabs open in Opera and usually a few in Chrome. Adds up,but I don't sweat it with 16 Gig.
Firefox was a sweet,fast browser when they first started,but became to bloated and the addons screwed me one too many times. I would depend on a bunch of addons and then FF would upgrade from ver 2.0.2.05 to ver 2.0.2.06 because someone misspelled a word in the EULA and all of my addons wouldn't work! It could take days to never to get them to work again. Luckily Opera came on the scene and now FF is used occasionally.
BTW,thanks for the post. Interesting.
