I always have 7 Firefox windows open across 4 virtual desktops with over 100 tabs across them. Never crashes on Linux and never eats all my 16 GB of RAM. Right now it's using about 4 GB of RAM. When I run Chromium in 1 window with 4 tabs, within hours it's using all available RAM and the tabs start crashing, one at a time, as they fail to allocate more RAM.
