Google Chrome Continously Leeching Memory
I have blogged about Google Chrome before with its excessive memory usage, it is the fastest browser for me to do Entrecard Drops and browse SocialSpark among other things, I use it for casual browsing, but not for when I need to do clipping of articles, cocomment, Stumble, Digg or anything that needs a toolbar or more plugins.
The Google team needs to put Chrome on some memory diet supplements or something, I realize that when I have 30 tabs open it takes up like 30 processes each with 20 megs of ram or more. The problem is, Google claims that each window is its own process, but if JavaScript or a site kills one tab, my whole Chrome locks up and reboots, killing all 30 tabs.
How isolated is one process really, if one tab locking up crashes the whole browser, they were no better than Firefox, you mine as well combine it all to a single process and save the memory utilization. The one good thing is I notice Google Chrome not crashing the cookies as often as previously, I can have 30 tabs open and only lose cookies once a day or two days, instead of every few hours.
But I can’t give it up, as much as I both don’t like the crashing instability of Chrome, I love the simplicity of the browser, speed of the surfing and the URL bar also being the search bar too much. I constantly use it because its fast and lets me find sites faster.
