Depends. I don't consider my browser my primary application my computer so I like it to save as much memory as it can for the truly horrid memory hogs like Adobe suite and my development IDE. I have 8gb on my laptop (macbook pro), and its still not enough. On mac, there's no worse culprit than Firefox. I'll regularly need to kill it after I see it taking up 2.5GB of ram (even when all tabs are closed). Chrome might lose the micro memory usage benchmarks, but its much more stable. Even after opening/closing hundreds of tabs for days, it'll never start taking up GBs of ram.
