You know, I wish I could see that. But I can use Firefox regularly with 80+ tabs without any hitch. Chromium starts getting unresponsive somewhere between 10 and 30 depending on the content.
- crikli 15y agoYou're not the first person that's said that; what's your setup? I've had consistent memory problems on WinXP, Win7, and OSX, all of them muscled up machines, especially when using JS intensive apps or leveraging Krumo (yes, I'm a PHP programmer, but I promise I can code, breathe and drool at the same time). Edit: I do use Firebug, so I'm loading up JS resource usage.
- phaylon 15y agoIt's a 2GHz Core Duo laptop, 2GB memory. Currently running Ubuntu 11.10. I just restarted yesterday and am already back at 45 tabs. The only thing that can bring it down is the Twitter UI, but that doesn't seem to need many tabs to get there. Extension-wise it's not too much, Adblock, NoScript, Tab Mix Plus, InstantFox, QuickRestart, and Firebug as well. I can see Firefox eating more Memory than I'd like, but it's not much of an issue. Chromium seemed to be more clogging the CPU, which I find worse since this is a laptop and thus Firefox keeps the whole thing cooler. I think the answer to the question of whether to use Chrome or Firefox is heavily dependent on use-cases.
