I know the topic of browser choice comes up often, and has been 
discussed repeatedly in the past.

However, it appears that these days Firefox memory usage is noticeably 
less than Chromiums, thanks mainly to Mozilla's MemShrink having reduced 
Firefox's memory usage:

See some recent benchmarks:

Is Firefox beginning to be a better fit for Lubuntu's aims than Chromium?
