You might be "relieved" to learn that Google Chrome/Chromium is almost universally considered heavier on RAM.
This might partly be due to the "one tab, one process" architecture. Of course, if you are experiencing a memory leak in Firefox, that's another story... But I can usually trace that to a memory leak in some heavy javascript "application" I have open.
- seba_dos1 6y agoOh yes, Chromium is simply not capable of supporting tab-intensive workflows that Firefox handles without issues. It becomes completely useless after just a few dozen open tabs, from both UX and performance perspectives.

With site isolation/"Fission" it looks like this isn't going to get any better in Firefox, either, as they'll have to move to "one domain/origin, one process", which could be even worse in terms of memory overhead due to the number of separate processes required.
