Yeah. Browsing for a long time, with many tabs. Firefox 3.5 and 3.6
use far less memory than Chrome, at least on my machines. I should
have called it 'power browsing' or 'vettiness' :P
Isn't that by design ?
By using a separate process per tab, Chrome is trading off speed and
security with memory usage.
It is, and a long browsing session with many tabs and add-ons can
almost bring my desktop (albeit a ~5 years old one) to a halt. I use
Chrome mostly to test some web applications, or for a quick mail
check. Firefox is quite slick at this task.
