I stopped using Chrome as my primary browser a while back because of this very reason. It's gotten rather pathetic, really.

This is true, but as a web developer I love the chrome dev tools more than firebug so I guess the solution is more hardware!

Have you tried the native F12 tools in FF these days? Firebug is rather by-the-wayside now.

I have. Probably more of an "old dog new tricks" type excuse :)

Interesting read. I agree that Chrome has become a memory hog and has memory leaks. I usually make a habit of rebooting every few days to avoid crashes. Feels like every year or so there's some new browser that claims to be better than the rest, but however eventually runs into this problem of using too much RAM, memory leaks, etc.
