so that the browser doesn't crap on itself and you can close those windows that consume the most resources (fuck Flash).
i hear you on Flash. i despise that blight on the Internet. it's overused by websites, and too many of these bozos can't code for it properly, so there's memory leaks galore. i'd disable it due to all the memory (and occasional CPU) disasters it causes, but CNBC and a couple other websites use Flash videos, so i don't bother.
as for Chrome, haven't used it, and in no rush to do so. i'm currently using IE6, even though i know Firefox to be superior. i got back in the habit of using IE in late 2006, after having used FireFox for a good year, and inexplicably haven't switched back.
has anybody here used newer versions of Opera? i've used it up thru Version 7. while the interface is fast and lightweight, i find the program is slow at actually downloading data from the Internet. it's like whoever coded it doesn't understand connectivity ... unless it just hates my computer setup for some reason. if newer versions improve this behavior, i might install them.
We have EVEN MORE themes now, but some old ones are gone...
