So, if you have feedback on using both browsers, please bring it to us
:-) But please, keep the discussion on this topic (feedback on low
spec hardware).
I prefer Firefox in general (maybe because I am more used to it) but I
use both. Sometimes it is convenient to run both at the same time.
But since I'm interested in the support of old and 'small' hardware, I
have also tried Firefox and Chromium-Browser with very limited RAM (less
than 1 GB). Then it is very obvious that Firefox is better. I have the
same experience as Lars Noodén with the "it's dead, Jim" message in
Chromium-Browser.
System - 450 Mhz PIII - 640 MiB RAM - Matrox MGA G200 VGA Controller
Neither Firefox or Chromium will play Flash. Chromium invariably
displays the 'It's dead Jim@ message, FF just displays a blank space but
at least it leaves the rest of the page intact.
Memory usage when both idle with no extensions using about:memory in
Chromium.
Firefox - 39804k
Chromium - 81164k
Should have mentioned the memory readings took place using Saucy with
Firefox 22 and Chromium 25.
Having sync'd up bookmarks, installed plugins and extensions I now get
the following on the same system.
Firefox - 149796k
Chromium - 176304k
