I want a web browser with small CPU usage for Windows 7

Asked By Terry A Henderson 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/06/2013

Ok so my request is pretty simple.

I have used Google Chrome until I realized it is not that great, and it can damage my PC.

It keeps freezing and on top of this, it uses a large amount of memory.

So I want TechyV support to tell me what is the best web browser with small CPU usage.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I want a web browser with small CPU usage for Windows 7

I found a site where they tested the CPU usage on the following browsers. I just noted some browsers so just decide whichever will be the best for you.

1. Apple Safari 5.1.7

Loading time for 10 webpages: 25 seconds

CPU Usage: Seldom dropped to 0% and remained between 5% and 20%. Max out to 66% while animating.

Memory Usage: 429MB

Open Processes: 2

2. Google Chrome 21.0.1180

Loading time for 10 webpages: 12 seconds

CPU Usage: 0-10% and max out at 80% when animating

Memory Usage: 370MB

Open Processes: 13

3. Firefox Engine(On Avant)

Loading time for 10 webpages: 19 seconds

CPU Usage: Seldom dropped to 0% and remained between 2-10% and max out at 81% when animating.

Memory Usage: 442MB

Open Processes: 3

4. Internet Explorer 9 SE

Loading time for 10 webpages: 13 seconds

CPU Usage: Remained on 0-10% and max out at 71% when animating.

Memory Usage: 342MB

Open Processes: 3

Avant Browser Ultimate can use three distinct engines such as Chrome, IE9 and Firefox.

So far, Safari has the lowest CPU Usage.
