They said the same thing when 7 came out... I'm on 8 and it still eats 1.2GB+ of RAM out of 4 at the end of the day. I'm still using it only because of Firebug.

These tweaks will be in FF11 or thereabouts...

I've got a dozen addons, and I keep gmail, to-do list etc. open all day long. I've had it open for several days now with at least 10 tabs open and it's using less than 0.5 GB out of 8. What's your usage that gets it over 1 GB? Also, what can you do with Firebug that you can't do with Chrome's "inspector"?

  Usually I keep in tabs Google Reader, Facebook (not always on), Gmail, sometimes Groove Shark plus many random sites (maybe ~25 tabs). ...as with extensions: AdBlock Plus, Download Statusbar, Flashblock, iReader, Live Http Headers and TinEye. I just took this screenshot of the task manager: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2311018/temp/shot.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2311018/temp/shot.jpg I honestly don't remember what I don't like about web inspector, I've tried it a while ago and I couldn't do all the things I wanted. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometimes. edit: my biggest issue with chrome was that for few years you couldn't see the source code of a page sent through a post request: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=523 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=523 They say it's fixed now, maybe it is...

    I find flash sites seem to be the big problem, if I have flash block on then the same sites don't cause the same slow down. This on Kubuntu 11.10 with FF7 (which FF I'm finding more responsive than previous versions).

  Trust me, Firebug is still a lot better than inspector. And while I get sniped by the occasional Web Inspector bug, but firebug is pretty close to flawless.

If memory serves, they've said the same thing since about version 4.
