Firefox is hogging 75% of my ram and thats unacceptable.
Plus it randomly disables right-click when i switch processes, and i need to alt-tab again to use the mouse. It writes and reads to disk almost every minute, despite me changing every relevant setting in about:config. No plugins are enabled, all extensions don't even run.

I didn't mention the browser will have the ability to turn off components like JavaScript/CSS/FLash completely. It is a flexible, modern architecture, though it will have focus on performance and stability, rather then feature completeness.

you're going to do CSS too?
javascript? flash? html5?
be compatible with the half broken half of the internet?
it's too much work, you *cannot* write your own client, except maybe a client that can work with a small subset of what's on the web... how are you going to access youtube? i guess what i'm saying is you should just choose a browser, you're pretty much stuck with firefox if you don't want chrome...

I don't actually have Flash installed since 2007, i don't trust adobe at all. I download youtube videos with an extension and view them in VLC.

I don't intend to rely on some proprietary bloatware suite, even if it takes less Ram. Opera isn't the fast lane to perfomance.
Its a fast lane to crashing to desktop.

First priority is now, of decent browser to use internet with.
I can develop the algorithms in the future, its not like i forget the schemes of compression, i write them down in my personal wiki as they come in my mind.

Chromium is actually pretty fast; you should use it. I had the same problem with fireshit, and it was annoying as fuck. So I abandoned it.

Except Opera isn't bloated. Smaller footprint, less ram consumed, and yet, with more features. Excellence in efficiency. Only a corporation can do that. Open source will never achieve this level of technology.

FF is a memory hog, for me it uses 500 MB and over, occasionally.
>>8 FrozenVoid is going to call his new browser, "Valeat Res Magis" -- huh? Why give it a Latin name that means, "Let the thing have value more"? (One of the weird things about being The Pathetic Loser Mentifex is that you can read ancient Latin, think ancient Latin, write ah, heck, let's switch into ancient Latin. Oh never mind. Gotta go. Ave atque vale!
