Originally it was Firefox that used less, more or less because it used a single process whereas Chrome used multiple processes for better stability. Am I doing something wrong? I thought Firefox was supposed to be super lightweight compared to Chrome? After browing for a bit Firefox on a blank tab uses 320MB of RAM.I wouldn't try too hard figuring out which one uses less RAM. (Scratch AND Youtube) With Scratch and Youtube open firefox uses 430MB of RAM.

(That's with Scratch forums AND Youtube open!) While watching a video Firefox uses 340MB of RAM.

On Youtube home page after signing in Firefox has two processes: one using 200MB of RAM and the other using 100MB of RAM. Firefox used the while 200MB in one process while chrome was 4 processes each using ~50MB.

On a blank tab Chrome and Firefox both use around 150MB - 200MB of RAM. Bybb wrote:Ok, so I was getting annoyed at high RAM usage by Chrome so I installed firefox.
