>Regards, >-Adrián Thanks Adrián and Tomas, I am using 2.20 currently. I will check out the Layers tab to see if anything jumps out. But I am pretty sure it is just the website structure doing it, and not a bug in the browser. Since I don't control the websites in question, there isn't anything I can do to change the website structure to reduce memory. Maybe a better question to ask, is if there are any settings I can use, compile-time or otherwise, that can reduce the memory used by WebKit? I already have the page cache disabled, which has helped alot. I also tried setting the option to put the browser into document viewer mode, but it almost seemed like it made it consume more memory. For some page examples, Gmail and the Google Docs or Spreadsheets pages are among the worst for memory consumption. Thanks again, Brandon
