I ran three separate browsers, Chromium, Firefox, and Midori, each opened with five tabs, each for approximately 13 hours. Initially, Chromium weighed in at around 81 MiB, Firefox at ~73, and Midori came in at 53 MiB. After the 13 hours, Midori was only taking up 56 MiB, representing an increase of less [...]

Chromium clearly loads the initial browser faster, which is something I would suspect, since Firefox is hauling around plugins that need to be loaded as well, while Chromium is a more streamlined affair, at least at the moment.
