    But the Opera VPN is free and gives much better speed (compared to other free vpns).


    Also Vivaldi is great choice but only limitation is that there is no synchronization option available yet. :(

    Yes, but not really relevant to this particular case because the guy's using it on Windows which has the appropriate decoders and there's also Cisco's codec which I've mentioned earlier.

    Right-click the DM video and check whether it's using Flash or not. Also check about:support in Firefox to see if H.264 is hardware accelerated or not on your system.

    What browser would that be? Apparently, you have the one that meets your routine work.

    The main extensions I have need for don't run on Vivaldi...
    Ublock Origin and Tampermonkey, to name a few...
    And without the main feature of sync, 1000's more will not use Vivaldi...

    Whichever way you choose to sugar-coat the issues faced by Vivaldi is fine by me ;);)
    Every new browser start-up has one thing in common --- they always do it for the people...
    But later on, things always change ;)
    It's the same with Firefox, Chrome and Opera...

    These things are not somehow connected, and Chrome will not use more CPU or RAM, if for example, Firefox or Internet Explorer. I've tested it myself on several occasions. If to open the same pages and is used the same extensions, the the use is the same.

    Byt the question has been answered by Microsoft for a long time already - the best is Edge. How can be, that somebody not to know it still. Microsoft is trusted source and You must trust, what was said. :clap:

    OS : Microsoft Windows 10 Education
    Model : Acer Aspire S7
    Processor : 3rd generation Intel i5 1.7Ghz
    RAM : 4 GB
    Storage : 256 GB SSD
    Graphics : Intel HD 4000

    Old system though. It's my test-run system dedicated to Windows 10 Insider Preview. I have a desktop system which is much more powerful but for intensive purposes .

    Each page used about 75 mb and the cpu hovered between 3-5 % totally...

    Can you post the Task Manager image for that? Yes, I don't do intense work with the system. However, I don't get the same disturbing results from Microsoft Edge or UCBrowser.

    Just curious after viewing your video. All those seem to be static Amazon pages, and even if you opened 50 different item pages (which I doubt), the browser is not going to duplicate all the shared resources. A proper comparison IMO would involve opening the exact same set of resource-heavy sites (different one per tab) on both your systems and then compare the CPU and RAM usage.

    Good point...each page will differ depending on java content, animations, etc...
    Maybe he could provide me the links and I could do it...
