I'll get off my soapbox now.
I was preaching the Firefox gospel only because someone commented on it being a memory hog. My experience is that it uses significantly less memory than Chrome, although in a single monolithic process. I don't disagree that Chrome's sandboxing is a good idea, but it does seem to suck up a LOT of memory.
