    Well, just one, not that there's anything wrong with that.

  6. Seamonkey on Comparing Memory Usage of Firefox 2 vs 3 · · Score: 1

    About a week ago I installed the latest Seamonkey. Since then, I've been using it as my primary browser. Speed and memory consumption are like night and day vs FF2. My only real complaint at this point is the relative dearth of extensions and themes for it, but maybe that situation will improve. I have encountered few, if any, rendering issues with Seamonkey, and the overall browsing experience is as good as FF in my opinion.

    I've been running the thing for days now w/o a restart, and I currently have 11 tabs open and have had about half of them open for at least 24hrs and the other half for maybe 3-4 hrs. Under Linux (Ubuntu 7.10 x64) I see:
        PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ PPID SWAP COMMAND
    14334 eric 15 0 220m 113m 24m S 0 5.6 26:47.68 14330 106m seamonkey-bin

    In contrast, an average session with FF2 quickly eats up 700m-900m.

    Seamonkey imported all my FF bookmarks, no problems, and I have the important (to me) extensions running - NoScript, Adblock+, Forecastfox, Chatzilla, plus a retro Orbit theme, and I'm a happy browser.

    I'm from Vermont, and people in the north-east most definitely do NOT refer to New Yorkers as "Yankees", with the one exception of those working for George Steinbrenner. Yankees are New Englanders. Hence the title "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and Yankee Magazine. New Yorkers are just another variety of "flatlander" (i.e. anyone not from VT, NH, or ME).
