Many people report the opposite, that Chrome does poorly with hundreds of tabs. The reason is that there is a tradeoff: Running tabs in separate processes as Chrome does takes more memory, but it does help with responsiveness. So whether Firefox or Chrome ends up 'faster' really depends on the number of tabs (and which web pages they are on), and how much memory you have. There is no perfect approach that is fast on everything.
- billpatrianakos 15y agoYou're very right. I suppose Chrome feels faster and that often counts more than facts. I still love the separate processes. Really cool idea, I think. Everyone's mileage will vary when it comes to this I suppose.
