Question GoSurf Browser?

Has anyone tried or used this before?
http://getgosurf.com/

Quote:
GoSURF allows you to browse multiple sites at the same time. Web sites are opened on tabs which allow the user to easily switch between them. it can save lots of system resource in this way.

Downloaded it, and testing it out today. Some of the things it features:
Tabbed Browsing (Multiple Windows), Smarter Search, Remember visited Sites, Pop-Up and Banner Blocking, System Guard, Handy DragAndGo, etc.


It says it uses fewer resources, and MAN! it does...
GetSurf - 12,024
IE - 26,896

I'll probably give it a try when I get my media PC up and running. Still waiting on parts though.

What numbers exactly are you quoting there for resources? And how does this browser compare to FireFox?

The resources I got from my Task Manager.

It seems to be running pretty dang good. It is nice to have the tabs for the seperate windows. It is very easy to configure, and customize. The layout is user friendly too.Loads fast, and responds quickly also. I will keep playing with for awhile, but so far it seems to be a keeper.

Just read a couple of things about this. Its still IE based, so the basic insecurity is still there... As for all the features... They all seem to be things that are standard on FF or are avalible in extentions, AND have been avalible in Opera for years. Looking at the screenshots, it seems to be exactly like opera. So you might to better to give opera a try. Same features, not IE based, and with the fastest rendering engine around.
