>I switched a couple of months ago because Chrome is just a bloated piece of garbage

I switched to Chrome a few years ago (and even to a Chromebox as my daily driver, on my second now because I wanted Android app support) because Firefox was a bloated piece of garbage, if I left 5-10 tabs open for a few weeks in Windows they'd be using several gigabytes of memory from a leak, memory use growing hourly.

Edit: I don't know why I'm being downvoted, this is even on Mozilla's own site showing it hasn't been fixed:

"Firefox's memory usage may increase if it's left open for long periods of time. A workaround for this is to periodically restart Firefox"

With an alternate solution being:

"Add RAM to your computer" ... "RAM is cheap"

I have not had this issue at all with Chrome in Windows 7, Windows 10 or ChromeOS.
