Hi Lars! Do you mean Chrome (proprietary) or Chromium-browser or Chromium (another program)? My experience is that Lubuntu 12.04 works well with the default Chromium-browser and 1 GB RAM. Now I have 1.25 GB. But I like Firefox better (probably because I'm more used to it).
We may have different habits; I have very few tabs open at the same time.
