    Like others said, check your extensions. An unoptimized extension can severely hamper the performance of the entire browser.

    Chrome runs snappy for me, even when I have a ridiculous number of tabs (40-50+) open. I am careful about what extensions I install.

    All good over here on FireFox. Tried Chrome, memory hog, bad layout, quit. I've been able to afford 9.4% IPA's and gas for my vehicle since the switch.

    Chrome, Opera, and Safari use the same underlying engine.

    On my Mom's computer I found that multiple anti-virus programs were the culprit.

    Chrome itself was not the issue.

    Pro tip for everyone. Get a solid state drive.

    type about:plugins in the bar, disable anything you don't recognize or Google the name if it sounds weird and work from there
