I can't say I have an issue with load times for either, although i rarely wouldn't have a browser open so it is becoming like the 'irrelevance' that some people claim boot times are, to some extent.
- Wingman4l7 14y agoComparing the differences in memory consumption between Firefox & Chrome is apples & oranges. Chrome will always use more memory because it has the overhead of sandboxing (almost) every tab into separate processes. It's a tradeoff of that design -- security & stability is enhanced, at the expense of increased RAM use. Check out the Google Chrome Comic, which goes into detail on the browser architecture: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
