I think the issue is not the browser, but ads and runaway scripts running on some web pages, so if you install an adblock plugin, and a flashblock plugin, .... and a but less ADHD surfing, you have less RAM wastage, that, and try not to leave FB running on a web page in the background....
whereas having a bunch of tabs of plain-text web pages, like say Wikipedia, .... with no ads rarely seems to use up much RAM....
- << great advice. I blocked all that stuff, and found a difference on my MBP. Apps with ads on my smartphone seem to drain RAM and battery a bit faster, too.BuddhaHat
- i'm in advertising, so i like to see ads on the pages somewhat... so not sure if an ad blocker would be the best thing?dconstrukt
- it's a button you can toggle in the top corner of the browser, you can turn it on and off as your browsing requires. *cough*porn*cough*BuddhaHat
