I have the complete opposite experience: I find (recent versions of) Firefox much more economical with RAM than Chromium. I tried using Chromium for a while and it required about 50-150 megabyte per tab. With Firefox I often have two dozen or so tabs open, and Chromium can't handle that on my 2GB laptop without swapping.
