    I use FF4. Im having none of the problems people are reporting in this thread (the only problem i have with it is it sometimes takes upwards of a minute to restore my tabs when i first switch on my PC again the next day).

    I see that Chrome is quite popular nowadays but im used to FF now and have it set up the way i like it, so unless something goes horribly wrong i won't be changing anytime soon
    Shadows are cruel.

    Yep, mine never gets downloaded either.

    Hm. Which one is the least energyconsuming then? I guess if the FF-version of AdBlock never downloads the scripts at all, it saves a bit. But is it more resource-heavy and drains more energy?

    I'm talking from a laptop-perspective, running on battery here.

    I did a search in this forum for "browser". This thread was on the first page.

    If I got all tricky and searched only topic titles for "browser", I got this thread (same as the previous link), this thread, and this thread in the first 5 results (excluding this post's entry in the search).

    We really don't need this topic re-posted every week or two.
