Firefox vs. Chrome: Chromium hides its real memory usage
It looks like Chrome is hiding something from us — in its about:memory report — fairly counting memory usage of Firefox (marked orange), it shows us only the part of truth (marked green). What are these «hidden» processes, that Chromium shy of (marked red)? Looks like that «hidden» instances eat much more memory, that Chrome shows.
During taking the screenshot, there was only one Chrome window running, as well as one window of Firefox. It is Ubuntu 9.10, Chromium 5.0.343.0.
