Eldmannen Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Well they are pretty advances, they must send requests for information, retrive the reply, parse the reply, render the website. Pay attention to the headers, load all images and content such as applets, scripts, objects, audio/sound, etc. Check if page already exists in temporary internet files, read cookies, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 In Mozilla Firefox you can disable loading images (all images or only third-party images such as banners), disable cookies (all or only third-party cookies such as tracking/spy cookies). You can disable Java, JavaScript (all or just certain functions). You can also change "Page Style" from "Basic Style" to "No style" under the "View" menu, that way the content on the page is displayed in a plain and simple style without much design. The browser is also more secure than Microsoft Internet Explorer, and you are less likely to get infected with spyware or virus if you use Mozilla Firefox. You can get it at http://www.getfirefox.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies depending on what you're doing, what page you're on, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 thanks tarun once again... i am actually just curious to know why... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's just like a game or anything else. It needs more memory as it gets more intensive. It takes up the same memory as IE, though IE will report less memory since it uses the IE core which is part of Windows.
