Chrome is a resource hog. I don't want that on my phone, which barely lasts 4 hours idling in my pocket. Thanks but no thanks. On my Mac, Chrome with 20 open tabs is always using most of my memory and CPU.

- IanChiles 13y agoFirefox as of 23+ uses significantly less memory than Chrome (in my experience - your mileage may vary though)
- scholia 13y agoI suspect that Microsoft Office uses less memory (and fewer processes) than Chrome ;-)
- skeletonjelly 13y agoBeing able to identify which tabs are hogging CPU/memory is a deal breaker to me.
- Grue3 13y agoabout:memory shows detailed report on which website uses how much memory.
- kolev 13y agoWith same tabs open for the same amount of time, Firefox uses significantly less. I hate to say this, but Safari beats Firefox, which makes it the most efficient browser on OS X.
- scholia 13y agoFirefox uses less resources in Windows 7 than Chrome does, it runs more tabs, and it is much more stable. I usually have more than 50 tabs open in Firefox and often go over 60 before having a tidy up. Firefox can survive that for a couple of weeks whereas Chrome would often crash in less than a day. (Flash would crash even more often.) YMMV, but I switched back to Firefox a couple of months ago and no longer have Chrome installed....
