Benchmarks: Google Chrome
Published: 04 Sep 2008
When it comes to memory usage, the new Google browser is not so great. With 10 tabs opened, it uses 113.4MB. Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 and Safari 4.0 Developer Preview also break the 100MB mark in this test.
Safari 3.1.2, at 92.6MB, is not especially memory-frugal either. This is possible though, as shown by Firefox 3.0.1 and Opera 9.52, which each consume just over 60MB.
Shorter bars are better. Test platform: 3GHz Intel X9650, 2GB DDR3/1333 RAM
