Try to use Chromium on a machine with 512MB RAM and try to use
a calculator to count how many times it will crash :D

If you will use Chromium, the one installed by default with Lubuntu (I'm
testing raring beta2) which should be version *[Version 25.0.1364.160
Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3)]* you will understand what I mean.

And yes, even Chrome, it is crashing :)

One opened tab is ok. Two tabs say Gmail and Facebook = crash.

As for Firefox, I noticed a much better performance and less crashing. When
idle, it is even lighter than Midori. The Firefox Team has done a great job
to make it less resources hungry.

For machines with more than 1GB RAM, not very sure because I don't use one
at the moment. My main machines both with 4GB RAM and Core i5 so nothing
will stop, lack or crash :D while my test subject is 512MB RAM Core Due
@1.86GHz :)

I haven't tested the 'un-official' PPA for latest version of Chromium (dev
version) which I guess should be version 27 and as far as I have heard, no
more crashes or perhaps less. After all, this is a test machine not for
daily usage.

After all, one can install his/her favorite browser with few steps away :D

Thank you!
