Hi dear antiX helpers,
I just want to ask which of these browsers is known as needing less ressources? Iceape changed into Seamonkey after installing the german laguage pack. Now I installed Iceweasel, too, to test it on my old computer. I got the impression that it is a little bit faster than Seamonkey, or am I wrong, is it just an imagination?
Greetings,
Susanne

I have found iceape to use less RAM than iceweasel especially if/when you open several tabs, but iceweasel to be slightly faster.
iceweasel has one big advantage over iceape IMO. Better language support.

On the downside I experienced that a lot lesser addons are available for iceape compared to firefox/iceweasel.

Hi anti and atcl,
