Dear, google chrome browser. Please stop taking up so much RAM. You are a browser not a game. Worst browser ever.

    I think Google sees it more as a platform than a browser

    You can always switch back to Firefox (also known as CrashFox )... you can switch memory consumption with insane processor usage... so I guess take your pick. :)

    Opera? Opera runs on Webkit now... so basically another Chrome...

    Firefox dev edition is awesome👌

    Use Firefox for development, Opera for general browsing.

    I can't live without Firebug nowadays anyway, and Opera is ridiculously fast.

    Switching to Chrome Canary solved a few memory issues for me this week. I assume the stable release had a few dramas.

    @Jase well i use chrome mainly because of the developer tools, is just awesome, pretty much everything you need in a workflow is there.

    and should be able to handle lots of tabs, and multiple profiles.

    and should support extensions like adblock, json view, style bot etc etc

    It takes 250 MB RAM here with 10 tabs that stream YouTube 1080p60 videos open. "Much RAM consumption"? Not here.
