Who has issues with Memory/CPU leak on their browsers?
Opera has crashed every time I've opened it, uses up to 4.5gbs of RAM then crashes. Chrome has been using 120% CPU right now seems to be okay. Firefox running in 64bit was a joke and even on 32bit is using way too much CPU and RAM.

Anyone else experiencing the crappiness of the recent browsers?
I know OSX Lion is the Vista of Apple but still..... 6GBs of ram isn't enough???
MacBookPro 17" top of the line too...

Download and run onyx for lion.(free) It will clean things up.
So many things can cause this.

Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion > Lion

Snow leopard is still the best, but 10.8 is a lot better than 10.7

Camino is great. Integrates directly with your OSX keychain so your saved form data is secured with your profile password. Good popup/XSS prevention built in as well.

Strange, I'm only getting ~19% usage with FF (14.0.1) opened up idling. 2006 MBP running 10.6.8 w/4gb ram.
