My two cents… Chrome opens a separate process for each tab.
This means that each tab is like running a new instance of the browser.

The guys at Google say that this helps you save memory because when you close a tab, all the resources asosciated with that tab are closed (which does not happen with the other browsers)

Having each tab on a process means that it a javascript gets into a loop or is too heavy, only that tab will get slow, not all the tabs… things like that… I’m using Chrome to write this but I got FF 3.5 installed and use it.

I use both….

Och, could you tell me then how much memory did Crome take? Or how should I calculate then?

Your computation is wrong: you cannot just add memory usage for all chrome.exe instances, because they SHARE memory. See for more information.

Rogerio, that post was the starting point for a poll in which I invited the users to vote for their favorite programs. And btw, Firefox ranked way better at the and of the poll than Chrome

Today I saw your http://www.freewaremission.com/2009/03/top-10-freeware-programs-i-couldnt-live-without/ and later I saw this article while searching for comparisons.
The former article seems now to deserve an update, isn’t it.
BTW I’m using the 3.5 with great results.
