I moved from Firefox to Chrome after using FF for a long time because of the opposite. FF randomnly locked up and used tonnes of RAM, not consistently but occasionally.

As someone who uses the browser a lot for work, I cannot have randomn lock ups happening for seconds at a time and not have this treated as a priority 1 bugfix by mozilla.

I think this depends on which OS you are using. Firefox is stable on some and not others, while Chrome uses less RAM on some and more on others.

I get lock ups in Chrome but not Firefox… i always need to close tabs on my work laptop cos chrome gets laggy. (Other apps are fine when chrome is laggy)

>And I just discovered this week that zooming in chrome affects ALL tabs

You mean all tabs sharing the same origin? eg I zoom in on the HN front page then I open a comment section on another tab that will be zommed in too. Make sense imo

This is how it works in Firefox for me, too.

I think firefox applies my settings across all devices cos you can change it in firefox, I forget that, so it's been set for so long I forgot it's a setting.

> browser.zoom.siteSpecific

Set that to false and it will apply to only the tab you're on.

The setting in Chrome exists but cannot be modified.

> And I just discovered this week that zooming in chrome affects ALL tabs not just the one you’re on.

I don't have this issue in ALL tabs, but only the tabs sharing the same origin which makes sense if you ask me, doesn't seem a bug.

Hmmm I’ll retest on Monday. I have an external monitor to my laptop and needed to zoom 1 tab on 1 screen to write a doc on the second screen and when I zoomed the laptop screen cos it was too small I zoomed the external screen. So annoying. Even if is only same origin, the fact they lock the setting for individual tab zooming so it can only be changed by a browser extension is so stupid.
