I guess it does for Chrome, for whatever reason. To the authorвЂ™s credit, they are trying to include child processes вЂ“ IвЂ™m not sure why, but psrecord seems to not (in local testing) include child processes for Safari even when the вЂњвЂ“include-childrenвЂќ flag is passed. This post is unfortunately nonsense, because itвЂ™s making a fundamental measurement error: not including renderer processes for Safari, and only measuring the browser process (which should be expected to be roughly O(1) memory in the number of tabs). As per a developer from Chrome V8 JavaScript engine team on Hacker News: However, psrecord, the tool used to count the RAM usage, does not count all Safari processes. As there are no extensions in either browser, there is no concern about additional RAM usage by them. This includes not only the main browser process, but also processes created for each tab, and the renderer processes. The test does by Flotato aims to count all processes originating from both Safari and Chrome.

We'll provide further updates as more information comes out.

Update: There are comments suggesting that these measurements may not be accurate.

Apple says that Safari on macOS Big Sur is '50% faster on average at loading frequently visited websites than Chrome,' and that Safari provides up to one and a half hours longer of streaming video, and up to one hour longer normal web browsing on a single charge, compared to Chrome and Firefox. With macOS Big Sur, Safari received significant updates that saw it further outpace Chrome.

While the results are stark, Just does say that Google Chrome is likely 'going out of its way to manage its memory usage across tabs,' in efforts to keep the current tab 'fast and responsive.' In his tests, Just finds that his own application, Flotato, a lightweight alternative to Chrome that creates apps based on webpages, used significantly less RAM than both Safari and Chrome.Д¬hrome is known to being a memory hog on Mac and Windows computers, an issue Google has recently attempted to solve. Per his findings, Chrome used 290MB of RAM per open tab, while Safari only used 12MB of RAM per open tab.

Both browsers, according to Just, were free of any extensions, and this specific test was conducted on his actual MacBook Pro, not a virtual machine. With 54 tabs open, Just found that Google Chrome used 24x more RAM per tab compared to Safari. The two-tab test was only the start, however. Under that test, Just found that Chrome reached 1GB of RAM usage, while Safari used only 80MB of RAM. In the first round of testing, Just simulated a typical browsing pattern of opening Twitter, scrolling around, and then opening a new tab with Gmail and composing an email.

The first test was conducted on a virtual machine, and the second on a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM. In a blog post, Just outlines that he put both browsers to the test in two scenarios on the latest version of macOS. Under normal and lightweight web browsing, Google Chrome uses 10x more RAM than Safari on macOS Big Sur, according to a test conducted by Flotato creator Morten Just (via iMore).
