Also if Firefox is left open for several hours, consumed memory of well over a Gigabyte is not uncommon even with only a few tabs open, a long running memory leak issue that plagues Firefox sometimes.Ī useful way to regain a bit of the lost performance in Firefox and Chrome is to compact the SQLite databases they use. This is a very common problem and occurs partly because of fragmentation in the databases Chrome and Firefox both use. Even though both have done work in this area, a lot of people still complain these browsers use far more memory than they should.Īs the browser gets used, slowly it will take more time to load during startup, the overall speed might decrease, and browsing thorough the history will start to slow down. Add in a few of the 1,000’s of extensions available and your browser could soon consume hundreds of Megabytes of memory and take up large amounts of disc space. Over time they have both increased in the amount of features, and consequently the amount of system resources they consume while running.
Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are by far the most popular third party web browsers around.
