#CHROMIUM VS CHROME PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE#
The first correct attempt was to use a tool that seemed to meet these conditions, but unfortunately it did not turn out to be reliable (either due to a bug in said software or a bug in the communication sent by the kernel), which discards it. Something similar happened to TooManySecrets and I clarify that I do not want to be disrespectful to anyone, but above all since in the end it ends with the question of "what more reliable method exists", I am going to give my answer.Įl primer The error is that a correct and objective measurement tool must be used in every experiment. Precisely the problem of resource consumption is something that webkit is to blame for and that is what has caused Google to reinvent its browser engine 😉 : - /įirefox has been consuming less memory since version 4, and since the last 4-6 versions I no longer tell you anything.
I guess you shouldn't have realized that the Firefox version comes compiled with debugging symbols that, among other things, apart from slowing down the application more than normal, make it take up memory as if there were no tomorrow. To do this type of thing, you should always use the stable versions, to be able to be compiled by yourself or, to bad ones, the binary versions (packed) in the same distro. How can you make this type of "comparison", using for this purpose fruits with cereals (as we all know, we can add apples to apples, or pears to pears we can add fruits to some bad ones, but never fruits with cereals or something else). I've been posting comments about this on G + for a long time, and precisely * IS * the opposite (and forgive me for being so blunt, but you have managed to outrage me a bit).
The only thing you need Firefox is something that equals or exceeds V8When they have that I am sure they will regain the ground they have lost to Chrome. I really want to try the new version of Opera en GNU / Linux and in the end, as we already know, it is nothing more than Chromium with another name and some additions.Įven some developers that I respect very much, such as y they use Chrome and speak highly of this browser.īut I keep putting my faith in Mozilla, and this time my own test has shown me that I am not entirely wrong. I sincerely hope that Chromium keep improving. Yes, in these times, with current hardware this may not be seen, but come on, some of us do care about these things.
The conclusion is only one: Chromium consumes more memory than Firefox when we are actually using them. If anyone has a method to get more reliable results, please show me how. I returned to the load but this time, I opened 12 tabs in each browser, with the same URLs. This was the result:Īs you can see, the consumption of Chromium became slightly lower than that of Firefox. So what I did was close all the tabs and leave only one, in the case of Firefox the about: memory, and in the case of Chromium the chrome: // memory-redirect /. The numbers speak for themselves.īut he didn't want to be unfair. The first thing we see above is a summary of the consumption of browsers that according to Chromium I have active at that time. I opened Chromium and agreed to put in the address bar:Īnd that's when reality surfaced. chrome: // memory-redirect / in Chromium.
