If you're using Firefox, you might be interested in the Open In Browser extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-in-browser/ https://addo

  Yes, exactly this extension I talk about in another reply - but I don't use Firefox any more because it creates disk load and swaps heavily on a 5400rpm disk, and it locks up while waiting for disk i/o every ten seconds (every tab switch, in essence). Chrome's single-process-per-page model is better, because the OS can do proper swapping.

    Interesting in that I've seen the exact opposite: Chrome hits the disk a lot harder, especially on startup, compared to Firefox.

      This is true, the cold startup takes longer in Chrome than in FF. But if you're short on RAM (I usually hit 2-3GB usage without a browser running) and the OS starts swapping when you open tabs (I have ~30-40 open regularly), then the difference appears.
