I'm one of those users who have 30-60 tabs open, and sync tabs/bookmarks/etc across multiple PCs and Macs. This is the reason why I've been stuck with FF, since doing so is seamless. I do hate how youtube stutters sometimes on FF and wanted to switch to a "lighter/faster" browser so I gave Chrome a shot, especially with the propaganda I read this morning about how they surpassed IE as the most used browser.
Well, here's the problem. I started moving/opening the tabs from my FF to Chrome, but halfway through, (about 30 tabs), Chrome was already up to 1.9GB of memory used, and FF was down to 300k. I remember back in the day when FF was young, we had an extension that did not load inactive tabs until you click it (now it is built-in). Chrome likes to load every single tab even if you're not using it.
I searched for an extension that can do this but was unsuccessful. So, my question to you Chrome users. How do you go about using this browser, even with its huge defect of having a separate chrome.exe for EACH AND EVERY SINGLE TAB? Or better yet, is there an extension that can help me?
