If I don't use chrome I damn well want to end my life right then and there, sure chrome guzzles ram at some points, but just close your tabs! It's not that difficult, and even then I have enough ram to the point upon which I never see any performance or lock-up problems due to it. Chrome has always been my goto option. Internet explorer is ugly to look at, firefox has just been inferior in my experience, chrome seems like the golden child to me.
