We’ve put together a RAM and CPU usage test with 10 websites loaded simultaneously on to 10 different popular web browsers Avant Browser, FlashPeak SlimBrowser, Maxthon, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Green Browser, Apple Safari and finally Pale Moon.Īll the browsers are the latest versions at the time of writing and no extensions or plug-ins were installed apart from Flash which was required for some of the websites. Luckily Firefox has improved since then and isn’t nearly so resource hungry, but it got me thinking about which web browsers around today are better or worse at consuming system resources. I removed all extensions and themes, tried again by leaving the laptop on overnight with the same websites open, but still the same thing. Checking the Task Manager found that Firefox was eating a lot of memory and CPU usage was going up and down. I only left Mozilla Firefox running with some websites loaded which I usually visit. If you’re not happy with your current browser, there’s really no excuse to not go out and try other browsers and see what they have to offer.Ī little while back, I used to keep leaving my laptop on when I went to sleep and in the morning when I went back to the laptop, it was often quite hot and everything running slowly. Whether it’s how many resources they take up or how quickly they load web pages, to what extra features they have included or can be added through extension plug-ins. Moreover, I was already used to using Internet Explorer, so why bother changing? There are a quite a few web browsers around these days and they mostly have their own good and bad points. A few years back, I used Internet Explorer for better compatibility with a number of websites.
