		traskjd on Feb 27, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Burning Chrome My general view is that I don't mind something being a memory hog if it's using that memory to make my experience really fast (which chrome does). Being a memory hog AND being slow really just makes me hate the software (Firefox - although I hear it's getting better in 4+ which I have not tried).

I think almost all tests(as difficult as it is to measure) show firefox coming in with the least amount of memory usage.
