content: I hate it when people rag on chromes memory usage. It would be very easy to cut down on, but, in doing so, they would have to change from having a different process for each tab. Chrome is the only major browser that does this. It means that if one tab crashes, not all windows and tabs crash. The increased stability is a very good thing, but inherently comes at the cost of exponentially greater memory usage. Does this memory usage make it ideal for use on all systems in all situations? No. Does its stability over is anf Firefox make it a better option for some people in some cases despite the memory usage bump? Yes. We shouldn't ask all browsers to maintain the same design paradigm, as that is limiting. By having a variety of differently designed browsers, users can choose one best suited to their needs and priorities.
