The biggest problem I had with firefox back in the day was it would eat up so much RAM. I'm a developer and I'm constantly loading, reloading, profiling etc across multiple tabs and eventually my pretty powerful PC would become slow. I had to restart firefox every time.

When chrome launched, I was thrilled that it had firebug features "built in" and that it didn't eat up 80% of my RAM.

The article mentions Firefox being not a processor hog anymore, has that changed that drastically?

After a while, Firefox would be incredibly sluggish and when I switched to chrome, I haven't looked back at all. These days, I use brave browser for personal browsing and chrome for work

This is weird, because I thought that Chrome (at least semi-recently, perhaps not in the earliest days) was infamous for hogging RAM.

I use Firefox and can't say that I've thought much about browser resource usage, which probably means it's not catastrophically bad, at the very least.

Why not try it out and see if it's better for you now?
