does it still run slick even with multiple tabs open or at that stage it eats same ram as firefox or chromium?
and what about google hangouts, can it run it?
unfortunately google closed video chat runs well on all my systems, android included.. pidgin/empathy/jitsy still have no android support, and that's a deal breaker (Skype? no thanks)

To use webkit and consume less RAM than Chrome? How is that even possible?
And it looks like Chrome is step ahead, it defers tab loading until selected and unloads inactive tabs. My 44.0.2369.0 dev uses now 4GB instead of 10GB RAM.
Memory is not the problem, but runtime performance (like javascript) and features (like MSE) are. I install it preiodically but there is still no proper HTML5 support like soundcloud, and it dies on heavy scripted sites like disqus page with 300 posts.
However Chrome with 4 windows 50 tabs each is snappy and feature full.
And I use Midori when I want proxy :P
Is there a changelog somewhere? I can't find any. Is the download bug fixed (where it simply doesn't download a file when choosing a location to save it)? It was the reason I abandoned Midori and am stuck with the (once fine, now terrible) 'web' (what a stupid and confusing name for a browser!) for low-end systems.
6GB less RAM compared to which previous version, please? Also, is 44.0.2369.0 noticeably unstable?
I think only late 43 was already not lading tabs on the start (instead was showing white icon for all of them). Less ram because backround tabs are duds that consume no memory.

Only now did I pay attention that you said it unloads inactive tabs, but that seems to be a good idea if done properly. Thanks!
