That's the thing that impresses me most with Chrome. They are innovating the browser in a variety of ways while keeping it slim and very, very fast. Like most, I was a Firefox user as well and even though Firefox 4 is pretty sharp and quick, there's no reason for me to go back to it now.
- adbge 16y agoChromium is slim? Compared to what exactly? The only browser I've ever used with similar memory usage to Chromium would have to be Opera. Even on a relatively optimized build of Chromium 7.0.510.0, it's pretty typical for me to see memory usage of ~300MB with only three tabs open. I shudder to think how much memory Chromium eats when used by tab junkies who have 20+ pages open at a time. I can see how Chromium gives users the illusion that it's slim, but I don't think it's accurate to call it that. I would reserve the word slim for browsers like uzbl and Midori.
- scott_s 16y agoSlim in terms of features. Programs that use more memory to be fast don't bother me - that's what the memory is for.
- binomial 16y agoI have to agree about Chromium, but Opera has one of the smallest memory footprints of all the browsers I have. I don't use it much because of the UI, but it sure as hell doesn't take up as much memory as Chromium.
