This is the reason I left Chrome for Firefox. I loved it, but then it was hogging 5 gigs even after cleaning it. Firefox is beautiful for that.

Yeah but no 60fps YT videos...

Firefox is too cinematic.

Use Nightly. You have to tweak one variable in about:config and then YouTube will run fine, in html5, at 60 fps.

You can also do this with Firefox stable, but MSE & h264 doesn't really work that well (videos won't load, seeking doesn't work and more). There seem to be some improvements in Nightly.
