When tested with 10 tabs open, Firefox occupied about 960MBs of memory, which is only slightly less than Chrome. At 20 tabs, the number went up to 1.6GB: certainly, a lot even if it is 300MBs lighter.

    Why is Opera using so much CPU?

    Hi. Opera often causes high CPU usage with no obvious reasons by a specific tab, page, URL or so. The internal Opera Task Manager (Shift+ESC) shows “GPU-Process” as guilty: 68%, Memory 300MB. But also the process “Renderer” pops up sometimes with highest CPU usage.
