My Firefox is also a hog plus with the addons it takes ages to load, so thats why I've just primarily to Chrome.

This is normal FF does use a lot of memory.
And guys Chrome is just as bad, you must remember that is is Sandboxed so you must add up all your Chrome.exe's to get the true memory usage.
Check this out (4 tabs open = 3 MyBB 1 News 24 :
Browser Private Shared Total Private Mapped
Chromium 2.0.172.31 81,612k 6,402k 88,014k 78,264k 25,112k
To get this:
Right click on chrome in the task bar.
Select Taskmanager
Stats for nerds (at the bottom)
Stop telling me how efficient Chrome is

For me it's about how fast chrome's UI is and how much more efficient it feels. I don't mind the few MB's of RAM, but Chrome is way faster than FF.

But it's way faster than Firefox even at start up, takes few secs from the cold, and Sandbox helps with not losing every open tab.

Chrome is like unrefined gold whilst Firefox seems a tin foil covered rock, you just have to remember that Roman wasn't built in a day.
