I think the default blank thing is nothing, I want my homepage to show up when I open a new tab. And I think FF should have had this ages ago. But an extension works for me.

    First of course you instal...

    I decided to do a little test on one of my machines with the three browsers I use most. In each browser I opened up Gmail, Google Reader and CNNMoney.

    I did this on Friday and did not look at the memory usage until Monday. After a little less than 3 days, we get the following numbers

    Chromium 1.0.154.48

    180,157k

    IE 8.00.6001.18372

    Firefox 3.0.4
