I'd never heard of Conkeror, so I started playing with it.  I really
like it (but *I* am an Emacs guy).  If you do "M-x use-vi-keys" (where
"M-x" is probably Alt-x on your machine) then it feels more vi-like
(j,k scroll up/down; h,l go back/forward; colon for commands instead
of M-x).

It doesn't seem to do tabs, but it will open pages in different
(Emacs-like) buffers.  Use "C-x f" (with emacs keys) to open a URL in
a new buffer.  Then "C-x b" to switch between buffers.  (Not sure what
the equivilent vi-style keystrokes are, but they might be there)

Of course, Conkeror is still Firefox underneath, so that won't help
with it being a memory hog.

Anyway, thanks for showing me something new and cool!
