Now you’ll receive dozens of responses of people saying that Firefox is much faster and leaner than Chrome for them. But that’s not the case for me or anybody I know. Chrome continues being faster for me.
It performs okay (except for a few versions a while back when the helper processes would periodically lock up in kernel mode and it would take a reboot to fix), but 980MB of memory to have one tab open to Hacker News is definitely not lean.
