Firefox 3.0 wins memory battle, says tester

Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox 3.0 browser uses memory much more efficiently than its rivals, according to an independent tester who wrote a memory-monitoring utility to track usage by Firefox, Internet Explorer (IE), Flock, Opera and Safari.

what about the memory leak?

What memory leak, exactly?

Funny thing is that a lot of the reported memory leaks are not related to what these people are reporting. A lot of the leaks are due to other plugins, and not Firefox directly.

'Course, THIS issue still exists, but the program the guy created, RAMBack, still works on the final.
