In fact, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 used about twice as much memory as Firefox with 40 tabs open. It performed best with 15, 40 and down to 15 open tabs and never went above the 1 Gigabyte mark, while the two other browsers did. It seems to release memory faster or more efficiently than Internet Explorer or Firefox.įirefox takes the crown as a heavy duty browser. Google Chrome too made first place only once after nearly all tabs were closed again in all browsers. It performed best initially with only 5 tabs open in each browser, but landed last in all four consecutive benchmarks. Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 performed worst in four of the five benchmarks. Update: We have added Chrome 31 Stable and Firefox 26 Stable to the benchmark results: The 15 websites:, ,, ,, ,, ,, , and the top 5 websites.All browsers without browser extensions, and plug-ins disabled.Browsers: Mozilla Firefox 29 Nightly, Google Chrome Dev 34, Internet Explorer 11.
Test system: Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit, 8 Gigabytes of RAM.This should cover more real-world scenarios. This time, I will look at three different scenarios with 5, 15 and 40 open tabs in each browser respectively. Back then, I only looked at the memory use when ten websites were loaded in each browser.
