Browser Comparison: Firefox quantum vs Chrome


when working with a quite memory usage program, sometimes i also need to browse, that was when the idea of browser comparison came up
i usually have both of firefox and chrome just in case one of them have an issue or something, so let's compare them
yes, i know that microsoft also have its internet exploler or the newest microsoft edge, but as we know that both of them are out of the league, i didn't included them
for opera, i know opera is quite good as well but let's stick with firefox and chrome for righ now

quick snap result
chrome's speed is slightly faster (to be honest, the speed difference is not that significant to be written here)
but, firefox uses MUCH less memory (this is what i need)

both are the newest version up to this date (2018/06/18)
firefox quantum 60.0.2 (64 bit)
chrome 67.0.3396.87 (64 bit)

during the test i already open several applications which take 3.5gb
(clover 9 tabs, sticky notes windows native, power point, excel, outlook, cygwin)

then i opened firefox and chrome with 20 tabs of the same address

after opening firefox, the memory usage became 3.9gb, and close the firefox
but after opening chrome, the memory usage became 5.4gb!
i also opened both of firefox and chrome using the exact same 20 tabs, the memory usage became 6.0gb

for me, who consider less memory usage, firefox is the clear winner (for now)
let's see what the big g is going to do with the next chrome


----------------
test environment
i3-6100 3.7ghz
win 7 64 bit sp 1
8gb memory


ブラウザー比較:ファイヤーフォックスクァンタム vs クローム

結論
クロームの速度はファイヤーフォックスよりも少し上回るが(速度はここに記載するまでの差はない)、
ファイヤーフォックスはクロームよりも非常に少ないメモリを使用


2018/06/18時点で両ブラウザーとも最新のバージョン
ファイヤーフォックスクァンタム 60.0.2 (64 bit)
クローム 67.0.3396.87 (64 bit)

テストをしていた時には既に3.5gbのメモリを使用

ファイヤーフォックスを20タブ開いたら3.9gbのメモリ使用になり、ファイヤーフォックスを閉じて、クロームを同じ20タブを開いたらなんと5.4gbのメモリ使用になった!

現時点ではファイヤーフォックスクァンタムの勝ち
グーグルはファイヤーフォックスクァンタムに対し、今後何をするだろうかをお楽しみに
