I thought this was interesting enough to share with everyone.
tl;dr: give Firefox Quantum a try!
I started to use it when it was nightly. It is amazingly fast and do not
consume so many resources as chrome.
The funny thing is that it is only the beginning of the improvements that
are queued for firefox.
We're doing UI memory leak testing of webadmin across browsers. The tests
use selenium [
http://www.seleniumhq.org/] which drives the browser to do
hundreds of repetitive actions, which then over time exposes browser memory
leaks in the actions being performed.
X = repetitions (over time)
Y = memory consumed in MB
The graph shows that, as the number of repetitions through the application
increases, Firefox Quantum 57 leaks less (lower slope) than Chrome 62
(latest) and older Firefox 52 ESR. Also, it uses less memory the entire
time (lower on the graph). [FF 57 is also just plain faster per repetition,
but I haven't posted that graph here. Take my word for it :)]
Nice, especially that it is both faster AND takes less memory (otherwise
you could have blamed a GC strategy favoring speed over memory
consumption).
Worth blogging on
ovirt.org.
Y.
