Not surprisingly I use specific websites for "stress testing" browsers on my low end pc. A good pick is ESPN. Every new element, especially flash and heavy ajax loaded content eat my cpu. It is almost always on 100% when hitting a web page.
This is not OK. So I've chosen Safari as primary browser for everyday life accompanied with a proxy that filters out web junk.
Still not good enough!
Decided to fall back to Opera. Can't wait for the stable FF3.
:sad:

Welcome to the "we wait for the ff3, better be it the messiah" club. I'm really annoyed by the fact, that even the biggest sites are filled with webjunk: autoplaying videos, flash banners, noisy ads, embedded mediaplayers, animated gifs, gazillions of cross domain javascripts, javascript errors, polluted namespaces, sloppy popup-handling and usability problems :(((
Let me add that this is only true in the Windows and maybe in the Linux universe. On my wifeys MacBook installed a very good filter/blocker for Safari. In the Apple world you can feel yourself safe just like under any well configured *nix, plus you got the fastest browser on Earth. It would be great if people at webkit development create a good port of Safari for Linux systems. I suppose hard core gnu people would shout the world with "fuck Safari, its non-free..." I do believe in free software but hell I need a good browser!
