But Chrome does not tend to scale down its usage on devices that have limited amounts of RAM. There are understandable reasons for that - for one, Chrome has to remember your recently closed tabs so that they can quickly reload on demand. Memory usage could be better: It's not unusual for Chrome to use over a gigabyte of RAM, even when you have just a few tabs open that are more or less static. For most people, this is much faster than typing a search query. Click it to search using your voice, if your computer has an enabled microphone. Voice search: When you go to in the Chrome browser, the search field has a microphone icon in it. By contrast, for Firefox, only the Android version can stream, it doesn't support as wide a variety of video types, and you can't cast a tab.

This is handy for presentations or for watching a video on a big screen. Or you can cast a streaming video that's embedded on that tab. If you have a TV with a Chromecast device and it's on the same network as your PC, you can open a Chrome tab on your PC and send it to y0ur television. Great casting support: Casting in Chrome used to require an add-on, but it's now embedded in the browser. Firefox has some tools to track add-on performance, but they're not nearly as user-friendly. Plus, Chrome's task manager (access it by pressing Shift-Esc) breaks down how much RAM and CPU power each add-ons is using, so you can identify ones that may be causing issues with browser performance or device battery life. That matters if you're logging in and out of LastPass all day. For example, the login UI for LastPass is much nicer looking in Chrome than it is in Firefox. Two, the Chrome version of an add-on frequently has more work put into the user interface. So if you download a new version of Chrome or install an add-on on one of your devices, when you log in to your Google account in Chrome on another device, the browser will automatically download and install those add-ons or updates. One, your add-ons are linked to your Google account. The best add-on support: Chrome slightly edges out Firefox in two ways.
