> For my own browsing habits, Firefox is very sluggish, and Chrome is completely unusable: it just can’t handle the load and brings my whole computer to a crawl

  It’s not any particular page that makes Chrome die. It’s opening more than 30 at a time. (I typically have anywhere from 50–200 browser tabs open at once.)

    Do you use task manager (Hotdog menu > More tools) to kill tabs that you are not currently using? Also chrome 46 looks to be getting much better[0]; although I have also noticed a sizeable improvement with 45.

  I'm going to assume 100+ open tabs.

  Anecdotally, leaving open for long periods of time causes problems, when that tab tab that includes Flash. Since Flash is fairly prevalent among Web ads, etc., it basically happens all the time. I'm sure there's some configuration setting or extension I could use to change this behavior. However, switching to Safari fixes it as well (and gets me improved battery life overall). I haven't really noticed any downsides to using Safari vs. Chrome.
