Firefox 3 vs. Safari 3
The main reason I switched from Safari to Firefox in the first place was memory consumption on my PowerBook G4—after just a few hours of my use, Safari 3 inevitably consumes at least 300 MB, often more, of private memory. In the same usage, Firefox 3 never seemed to use more than 90 MB, even after a few days.
But for this I really, really like Safari.

I recently started to use Firefox instead of OmniWeb, the big advantage in my opinion is the adblocking, cookie control, script control and other plugins ... I've never managed to do this in a nice way using Safari
Thanks, Jesper, I was trying to figure that out myself, and hadn't quite completed the mental loop when I read your comment. :)

Just to prevent repetitions of my minute of head-scratching, by "but", he meant "except". I read it the other way, "but" being an objection to the quote, and the rest of the sentence affirming that it's because of the memory usage that he really, really likes Safari. :)
