For just viewing pdf, the built-in reader of Chrome would also suffice. Or even Windows 8 has a built-in reader.

FF and chrome both are major ram hogs. The only lightwieight browser still on the show is Opera 12.16.

Is current Opera ver20 take too much RAM too ?


How good is Waterfox compare to FF ?

waterfox is a ram hog too. with just 6-7 tabs, it crossed 1000MB ram quite fastly. depends on the websites too.

i did not feel much of a difference. probably why FF dropped the idea of releasing a 64 bit version

But Chrome uses lesser ram on launch and during usage.

From WaterFox's website :

What makes Waterfox fast?
A:Waterfox was compiled with Intel's C++ Compiler with the following optimisations: Intel's Math Library, SSE3, AVX for supported Intel processors, jemalloc, Profile-Guided Optimisation and the /O3 switch.

Why should I use a 64-Bit variant of Firefox?
A:64-Bit computing is the future! Any 64-Bit user will notice an instant increase in performance, but that is not the only advantage such as multi-tasking and improved stress handling.

may be it's more crash resistant then FF .. I don't know but WF looks and sounds more cool

could be but for me it's woking Ok as I use it only for some secure websites. Anyway, Try SlimBrowser - it uses IE engine but lots better than original IE.

their website does not have any genius pdf software anymore but the last version [ 2.1 ] was available on some other freeware software websites but even they are not available anymore. Anyway, I may have the setup files of the last version so if you need I can upload them.

yep, it uses the sumatra engine but why the devs of this fine piece of app just disappeared is a little mysterious .. may be they were using source codes of some other apps too.

Genius PDF is available here and here at the time of writing, but the latest version being 2.0, not 2.1

Interestingly though, violation of rules might have contributed to their demise as this post suggests and the author of Sumatra PDF wasn't impressed

I never knew anything about Sumatra PDF until today (learning from you guys) so I downloaded it today and will probably stick with it, though I used to work with Genius a little while back

MusicBee is a full fledged audio / music manager rather than just a player [ have not used it for long ]. Anyway, will give it a try.

How about Mediamonkey ? Are those two better than Mediamonkey ? I know its not freeware
