Multiple windows dramatically increase memory usage as opposed to multiple tabs. Plus, tabs are totally sweet and awesome.

Never had a problem with the memory thing. :p

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe. 

Firefox. I used to like IE but at the time it didn't have tabs and having a bunch of browsers opened baecame a pain.

I use Firefox. Don't use Adblock as I never get ads without it, so why add it in? I just set Firefox to block pop-ups itself.

I never got ads either. :huh:

 

I'm using IE7. tabs, no popups, clean UI.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

What do you understand by "ads"?

 

I share Diamond's puzzlement.

Okay, I never get pop-ups. I still see banner adds and the like but I really don't care about those.

My Firefox installation is so tightly managed that I have to give permission to download anything: I haven't seen an advert for the longest time (apart from when I use IE for mail, because Yahoo hasn't added support for other browsers to edit webmail in rich text :angry:).

 

Opera is the best browser, though, I reckon, and Firefox is a close second because it allows total customizability. And

Plus, tabs are totally sweet and awesome.

;)

 

If you ain't using tabs, then you don't know what you are missing: truly, there is a (small) learning curve, but I can keep two browser windows open, one with all the references I check (dictionary.com, wikipedia, etc) and one with all the fora to post in. That way I can instantly alt-tab (read: flip-out) between reference and post!
