I worded that poorly. What I meant was, its more efficient on a per process basis, but it requires more processes because each tab enjoys process isolation.<br />

I use 20-60 tabs all the time. The bigest issues to me is speed, and it's quite a bit quicker with all the tabs than FF.<br />

Chrome uses 149 megs, Firefox is using 115M. This is with 4 tabs each showing techhui, cnn.com, facebook, and gmail.<br/>
<br/>
Which is consistent with my use in the past; chrome always uses more memory. I would say Chrome is generally faster though; albeit on the page loading front. I leave browsers open all the time so how fast they start up isn't a factor for me.</div>

I also find Chrome a better development environment, as it just has a more <i>stable</i> feeling to it. For me using Firefox is like driving a Toyota Camry VS a 4x4 Chrome Ranger :)<br />
<br />
both of which have viable web surfing applications. I see mostly no need to use Safari, since it is Mac only. Same goes for IE.<br />
<br />
Since Chrome is still pretty young, I use FF/Chrome combination to accomplish various tasks. Chrome has very nice…

Since Chrome is still pretty young, I use FF/Chrome combination to accomplish various tasks. Chrome has very nice <a href="http://www.techhui.com/video/google-chrome-developer-tools">Developer Tools</a>, where I especially like page loading/startup measurements.<br />
<br />
Overall, I'd say as Chrome gains maturity, it will be more preferred amongst developers. I am also really curious to see <a href="http://www.techhui.com/video/what-is-google-chrome-os">Chrome OS</a> in action, as it will finally put to the test Sun's <a href="http://www.techhui.com/video/the-network-is-the-computer">Network is the computer</a> vision..<br />

As for memory usage, I find that leaving FF for too long makes my computer sluggish. Chrome, on the other hand, behaves normal, though I do try to minimize the number of open tabs.

It doesn't have all of them, but it does have lots of extensions. I've switched, and only use FF for compatibility checking and small problem sites.

Hi Brian, If you are comparing Firefox to Chrome when using multiple tabs this will almost always be the case, but for a good reason. Chrome runs each tab and window in a separate process with full process isolation. This means one bad web app can't bring down your other web apps. To achieve process isolation you can't have any shared state, so you need more memory.
