My experience has been the opposite. I will have far too many tabs and windows open and with Chrome I would often see memory usage over 10gb. And on more than one occasion I’d have to end task on chrome as it was locking or already locked up.

Switched [back] to Firefox in the last year or two, same plugins, no change in behavior, and it never locks up. Memory usage is fine. Right now with just as many windows and tabs open it’s using 5gb ram.

Chrome has been uninstalled from my PC.

And the tab containers plugin from Mozilla is really incredible.
