I find Aurora faster then Chrome and it displays fonts/pages better. I also think the memory use is much better then Chrome. Maybe its the Nvidia acceleration?
When the top 5 processes on my system are chrome, and all over 1.5gigs in size call bullshit all you want. But when I close chrome and 8 gigs of memory is freed, I call that bullshit.
And who cares about memory use on the desktop? I got 8GB, and my browser never even gets close to maxing that out. 16GB can be bought for around $45.
