Pale Moon, firefox pretty much but optimized and imo, better
I disagree I have ran several benchmarks and normal Firefox beats out palemoon on my computer.
I might run them all again tomorrow and document this.
Sunspider Results
Firefox: 204.3
Waterfox: 227.8ms
Palemoon64bit: 243.1
Firefox 18: 253.8
I will run some more tomorrow as this interests me.
Well, I've always used Chrome, but seeing as how it's refusing to scroll web pages on my new computer, I'm trying out IE6. So far, pretty good. Wish Chrome would work though...
It may be one of the most resource intensive browsers out there, but the fact that every tab is stored as an individual process makes it incredibly secure.
I use Pale Moon. It is greatly faster then Firefox and Waterfox for me. Even through optimizing firefox and waterfox more then what is possible, and using a Ramdisk.
The results I get from Sunspider "ran 2 times for accuracy"/
--------------------------------------------
Total: 186.4ms <- Average of the 2. First was 176Ms, other was 202Ms. YMMV.
Anyway back to topic, Firefox, or Pale Moon which is firefox but coded for max optimization. Who I to kid though, I use either chrome or Palemoon/Firefox. Though mostly force anyone else to use Chrome, and only I use pale moon. "Keeps people from muffing my stuff up".
Because it has to reload everything when you switch focus. Incredibly annoying.
I'd rather use something that doesn't do tricks so it can win on performance charts.
I have never had problems with loading when Firefox comes back into focus. If I play a game while Firefox is open and then alt+tab out of the game to check Firefox, nothing is loading. I'm not seeing this problem you speak of on either my netbook or my desktop. I also like Firefox better because you can customize it to use less space at the top, giving you more space for webpages.
Sorry, but I just really have never had this problem with reloading everything when Firefox switches focus.

Firefox for me. I used to use Chrome, but then it started morphing into a heavyweight browser. Firefox has been asking for more resources too, but I can usually trim some things in about:config.

Internet Explorer 9. Because I'm used to it and because it isn't "bad" like people typically lead you to believe.
Unless you want to view a website which uses advanced web technologies, IE9 is okay. I used a web based presentation script which was really awesome in Chrome and Firefox, but did not function at all in IE9. IE is probably the worst browser in terms of meeting web standard proposals, probably because of the long release cycle.

Since yesterday I've been using Chrome instead and I'm quite pleased with it so far. The themes seem to be much better than last time I used it. The only things that bother me though is you can't customize the bars at the top by default and on my first day of trying it the shockwave flash plugin crashed when I was watching a youtube video. I can't recall having the flash plugin crash on Firefox at least for a very long time, so it was disappointing that it crashed the day I went back to using Chrome. I like the start page better on Chrome though because then I can just open a new tab and go to Pandora, Youtube, Koding, etc.

I also like chrome because I like it when my passwords/bookmarks/themes follow me around from computer to computer

That's funny because what made my start trying out Chrome again was watching the Google IO Keynote from this year and seeing how everything is synced up across devices. Now I just need an Android phone to make real use of it

Do you have Config.trim_on_minimize set to true in about:config? That might be your problem.
You might want to switch browsers...

OT: I use chrome mainly, but I have firefox as my secondary.

I hope that was a typo, and you don't mean IE6.
