I used to use Safari but Apple's extension policy has basically caused many of the extensions I do use to no longer be available for the browser (for example, Reddit Enhancement Suite). It would have been nice if Apple didn't scare off extension vendors since Safari does use less battery on my MacBook Pro than Chrome.

How much is a "bunch"? My MBP only has 16GB of RAM but Chrome for me is currently using 1GB for the main process and an average of 50-100MB per helper process (corresponding to an individual tab).
