Let me know when Firefox stops being an insane resource hog and I will switch.
- kabwj 8y agoNow you’ll receive dozens of responses of people saying that Firefox is much faster and leaner than Chrome for them. But that’s not the case for me or anybody I know. Chrome continues being faster for me.

- LinuxBender 8y agoOne thing I found is that Firefox doesn't do gc/cc that often on it's own. I keep a tab open to "about:memory" and click on "gc / cc / reduce mem" ever so often and it keep the memory usage between 800MB and 1.2 GB with several tabs open (jira, slack, HN, misc other sites)
