Mozilla & Gecko clones "When Firefox launched in beta release five years ago, it burst on the open-source browser scene like a young Elvis Presley - slim, sexy and dangerous. Since then it has attracted millions of users, generally set the agenda for browser development and unseated Microsoft's IE as the de facto monopoly in the field. But, with Firefox 3.0 poised for release later this year, the 'IE killer' is in danger of morphing into an early Fat Elvis, if increasing numbers of die-hard fans turned reluctant critics are any guide."

That takes alot more memory than Firefox, last time I looked it was 60Mb within a few minutes.

Firefox is no more bloated than the other popular browsers, so if anyone can give me the numbers(unlike the artical has) then fine.It can be the case that web pages are more boated then ever, flash is slow and people want more features there is a price to be paid.
