i meant to imply that suggestions about browsers, (following a statement like "delete chrome") often aren't practical for most people, and as a web dev I need a fairly traditional environment. So by "sane", I meant things like using ice weasel with noscript or tor-browser, or a very non-traditional small independent browser. I have reasonable privacy and security settings in place but need to be able to test websites etc. I was asking the above because I love FF but on my macbook it was spinning the fan up and using a lot of cpu. I will try it again, but it would crash or throw the computer into spinning beachball mode; a lot.
