Aurora is what, a pre-beta release? And you're comparing it to the production Chrome?

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.

I care about memory use, i've been able to get Chrome up to >8g of memory used with no problems.

Firefox rarely gets over 2g with similar use.

You're saying Chrome uses 4 times more memory than FF. I call bullshit.

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.
