Opera vs G Chrome?

Hi,
Adding a theme to Chrome only adds more of a resource drain which Chrome already is

All browsers are getting pretty much a resource hog but Chrome takes it too darn far :)

Since the OP has a 32bit OS and less then 4GB of usable RAM, I would pick a browser based on resource consumption rather than website rendering speeds.


Chrome (32bit or 64bit) crashes if one of the instances consumes more than 4GB of RAM. For those that want to test that, visit this website A continuous feed of stellar photos we find online tagged #pixlr and hold down the END key. Watch the RAM climb and Chrome crash. IE11 and Pale Moon handle that website without crashing.

Interesting. I don't have Chrome but do have SRWare Iron. I tried visiting that site using Iron and although memory usage did indeed climb - it wouldn't crash.

Memory usage (normal with one tab)

Memory usage after 5 minutes on the site (holding down END key)

I should point out that I have CleanMem running at all times. Also tested All Browsers Memory Zip but it appears not to offer any advantages when CleanMem is also being used.

I see what you mean. I suppose that my test isn't valid. I assumed that Iron would behave pretty much like Chrome!

Well pretty much everyone says to let Windows manage memory. All I know is what works for me. More info on configuration here:

Anyone using a laptop & is concerned over battery life should check out Opera 38 released a couple of weeks ago.

You can enable it on any PC not just laptops to save resources.
