Firefox with 101 Extensions

This how your browser might look if you install 101 extensions:

The above image is just a snapshot of the bigger version. With these may extensions, it looks somewhat like a Web Editor. His browser might take ages to start up !!

Installing lots of extensions makes your browser terrible slow and unstable, so take my words and restrict yourself to under 15 or 20 extensions.

    Wow, I wonder what processing power that person utilizes. It looks like an older version of IE with so many toolbars installed and a sidebar featuring the now defunct PUSH technology by Microsoft [which was implemented into previous Windows versions]. Nice catch!

    CypherHackz: Well, I got 2GB of RAM and I have 17 extensions installed in Firefox, but it still takes ages to load :(

    Very interesting – how does he really manage to use Firefox? I am convinced that he is not able to multitask, unless he has 5GB RAM, seriously.

    I have 512MB RAM, and the only extensions I do not disable are Greasemonkey, del.icio.us and Stylish; this is to prevent it from taking 30 seconds to open and suck 100,000K RAM when I have ten tabs open.

    Steven: I guess, He did it just for the sake of hitting the digg frontpage

    When it comes to loading and memory usage, Firefox sucks big time!

    And more the extensions more the memory consumed. After my fresh install I restricted myself to very few extensions this time. Many of which should be inbuilt into the damn browser!
