I find these results somewhat disingenuous. I left both Firefox and
Chrome open over the weekend (both on Linux, with the Chromium daily
build), Firefox with 1 tab, Chrome with 4 (one of them being Gmail).
Chrome's memory usage didn't move while I had to kill Firefox for
eating up 1.5GB of RAM and being generally unresponsive.
Maybe Chrome uses more memory to do its job initially, but it
certainly doesn't have the leaks that Firefox does which cause me to
have to restart it several times a day. Keep up the awesome work,
Chrome peeps. I can't wait until I'm using Chrome as my default
browser on all my platforms.
