So, is it looks like the Windows version is finally out of Beta... Let me give it a try and compare it with my current favourite Opera...

i have checked all of them...

FF 2.0.0.12, FF 3 beta 4, and safari 3.1 ...

i think now it will be competition between FF 3 and safari.... as FF 3 has increased compatibility with memory and speed ( speed means browsing).

FF 3

- takes less memory then FF 2
- browsing speed is very good
- also shows you typed urls from bookmarks+history
- UI changed somewhat...
- but still lack behind safari in the sense of total memory eating.
- slow loading time...

Safari 3.1
- great UI.
- great loading time...
- great surfing speed...
- very less memory usage...
- main prob. is, no addons like FF :(
- imports bookmarks from ff/opera/IE etc...

so its now your choice.... i have installed all of them... :)

---------update:-------

safari starts initially at very low memory..like say 7MB or 8MB...stays there at some time...
Then gradually its growing even if you are browsing only one site...

see my results:
started @ 7-8 MB
after 10 minutes @ 56 MB
after another 10-15 minutes @ 86 MB
after another 5 minutes with 2 tabs (when i am writing this one) @ 94 MB

:(

i think FF 3 is better then :(. what you say?

I would have liked it more had they retained atleast the native windows button configs. Safari has the cancel button on the left and the OK button on the right!

thanks mate... its just a quick one.
we can figure out more once FF 3 final will be out.Then only we can compare them both.

I think opera missed. Anyone using it now a days?

friends,
again i am still with FF 3 beta 4.
because... even you open more tabs ( say 5 to 8 ) in FF3, it will use some 50 mb memory...

and safari with 5 to 8 tabs reaches @ 90 MB :( though surfing seems fast...

I hope FF 3 final will be very good regarding memory leaks and loads :)

WTH, why they have not given any release notes for this release? What they have fixed?? There are no cosmetic changes i guess :-| Anyways, the experience is quiet smooth apart from the memory usage issue.

You people need to experience opera. Fastest browser on earth, bar none!

Safari on windows is too damn buggy to use, guess i'll check out the latest builds.
