INTERNET EXPLORER!

Whats this about? Well, I did a test to see witch one of the 3 big internet engines (Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer) used the least file space when on RuneScape. I put SwiftSwitch in there just to see how it would do. I spend 1 hour playing RuneScape on each one and graphed my findings.

Simple Graph | Detailed Graph | Text

As you can see for the first hour Internet Explorer did the best and Firefox, the worst.

Note: I used Opera 9; Firefox 2, newest on this date; Internet Explorer 7; and SwiftSwitch 2.37

Yeah, it was relay boring. I had to steel my Darkdonut1's I pod. But I got the data so it was worth it.

Same here, I'm not using Crapernet Explorer just because it uses up less space.

Just use the Runescape Browser, It's based on IE, but not as degrading

The only reason I use Firefox for Runescape is because I can block the ads on free worlds, otherwise I would be using Swiftswitch.
The file space has never bothered me before though so I don't think it influenced my decision. :P
