Well, I don't know about that but Chrome, in my experience, always forgets about my browser extensions such as AdBlock, meaning I have to reinstall them every time. Also, it forgets to close down when I close out of it to use Firefox, resulting in a conflict.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I have none of these problems with Chrome. (I use Chromium.) Of course, I never use Firefox.
I like chrome for the syncing. I can load the same tabs in my phone that are on my laptop browser, and if I add a bookmark on my phone (or a password in LastPass) it'll be on my Chromium browser. It always loads my extensions, including hangouts, which also syncs with my phone.

But I don't hold the misspellings of others against them, so long as they're not crowing about how intelligent they are.
I think of it this way. Sometimes a guy just has to fart, and there's nothing he can do about it. But if a guy will just let 'er rip anywhere, anytime, and expect me to accept it, that's rude.
Everyone makes mistakes. It's the obviously not trying to prevent them that bothers me, because that shows a disrespect for everyone on the forum.
I prefer to address the content rather than letting spelling mistakes impede what might for me be a learning experience.
I'm good at spelling and guitar-playing, you're maybe good at tennis and flying an airplane, we each have different skills. I won't take it personally if you're a crappy guitarist, so long as you don't ask me to land a 737 with an engine failure.

It doesn't do that... 
Check your task manager, unless they've recently changed it. At one point, Google promoted the fact that it did.

Doesn't do it with Chromium. I never noticed it before, if it did. Chrome just is less bloated to me than Firefox. I like Firefox, I just like Chrome better.

It has multiple processes sure, but there's some good reasons for that. It's not really an issue if you have a half decent computer.

It's crap when they all freeze and you have to close them one by one in the task manager. Also not so nice when you want to know how much memory the whole of chrome is taking.
About a year or so ago, the guys at mozilla made a plugin container process where supposedly all the plugins run and, if one crashes, the browser, running on another thread, survives. It does work, generally speaking....
Now, firefox's biggest problem is memory leaks. I can start a session taking some 600MB of ram. after I visit a few (ok, lots of open and close tabs reading forum posts and answering them and whatnot) pages, I'll take a peek at the memory usage, and it's grown to 1.2 or 1.5GB. The overall number of open tabs remains the same, but memory usage doubles... That's usually when I restart firefox.

I've been using chrome for the past 2/3 years and never had this problem?

Some of us have more luck than others...
With me, chrome has misbehaved once or twice... firefox has misbehaved much more than that, but that's to be expected when it's the browser I use everyday, while I only use chrome sporadically (ie, access a different gmail account without closing firefox and when the access I get on the phone isn't enough).
On the other hand,, when I had problems with win98SE, I "upgraded" to winME and the problems stopped. I never understood why people complained about winME.
I once had winVista in my home PC and it worked... I then bought my laptop which came with win7... I liked the new visuals so I changed the home pc to win7, too... but I didn't feel I needed to. It was working fine!
So there you go, I'm one of those oddbals out there who can make a crappy windows work well enough to perceive it as decent... and a decent browser to misbehave and require a "end process".
