Just finished some testing using: Chromium 15.0.874.102 Firefox 7.0.1
No extensions, no tab history (tabs are "clean"). 1 tab (logged into gmail) chromium-browser: 50.1 + 24.7 + 9.1 = 83.9 MB firefox: 97.2 MB 2 tabs (logged into gmail, ubuntuforums.org) chromium-browser: 54.5 + 24.7 + 9.1 = 88.3 MB firefox: 97.4 MB Summary: Not only does Chromium start slightly faster, it still has lower memory usage with few tabs running. Firefox has improved A LOT however, we should keep our eyes open in the future. I don't know how much the gtk2 vs gtk3 issue affects us, but I suppose we should aim at only using gtk3 apps?
