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.

I thought Google was working on that

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

@Jase I'll try Vivaldi, I'm very frustrated with chrome and it's ram usage... I have some clients who have low end laptop and chrome is just killing it... I'll update what my findings with Vivaldi

@Jase I've tried Vivaldi early days ( beta or something ) it wasn't that impressive, i guess i should try again

@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

@T-Hammer
Opera basically is chromium..

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

@gnaaah like minecraft now is a game engine not a game.

@arekxv or vivaldi. Better ram optimized.
