Mozilla & Gecko clones "Mozilla's greatest success to date has come from its online efforts with the Firefox web browser. Since at least October of last year they've been working on the Mozilla Prism effort to bring the online experience to the desktop. That effort is taking a major step forward today. Instead of struggling with Mozilla Prism to create a standalone desktop version of a Web app, there is now a point and click browser plugin to do the magic."

Firefox 3 is using 25 020/kb over here. just letting you know.

I have Firefox 3 also. It might use 25 MB when it launches but after an hour of heavy browsing use it will easily gain 25 MB or more. The memory use is definitely better than in the past.

Just another data point. My Epiphany uses 13m on start up. After having browsed for several hours, I'm at 39m.

To get these numbers, I am subtracting shared from resident memory, with swap temporarily turned off.

And that is using the gecko rendering engine. It will be interesting to see how it does with Webkit.
