Web-browser memory consumption benchmark - Firefox uses least and Google Chrome the most...

Despite Google Chrome's increasing popularity and growth, Mozilla Firefox has been my web-browser of choice. One common complain about Firefox is it's high system memory consumption and there have been various internal and external solutions to the problem, in some surprising development and a new benchmark published by Toms Hardware the Firefox 13.01 uses the least amount of RAM, while Chrome uses the highest with 40 tabs opened.

Chrome Vs Firefox

While I personally consider firefox to be a more stable, standard compliant and extensible web-browser, this new benchmark will definitely convince users with low system memory to use Firefox as their choice of web-browser.

Well, to be honest memory usage isn't really relevant these days. And considering the browsers use the memory as a fast cache instead of writing every small files to the much slower hard drives, I'd rather for my browser to use as much memory as possible if only to make things go faster.

BUT RIGHT NOW FIREFOX NOT WORKING GOOD WITH FLASH PLAYER ON MY WINDOWS 7 64BIT SYSTEM

WHAT IS RAM USES OF MAXTHON WEB BROWSER

I am a die hard Firefox user. I like it. And, I don't see any reason to switch to Chrome.

I'm also a Firefox lover. Especially reading their philosophy.

benchmarks aren't reliable these days

This benchmark is fake. Tom's hardware was being paid again...
Firefox eats a lot of resources, especially the memory.
Opera is using much less memory than Firefox.
