You got three tabs open. WordPress post, Gmail Inbox (I’m guessing you have Labs enabled) and a PCWorld article. Opening that in Firefox takes about a 150MB too.

@The GroundNut: No beta. At my place, it takes ~150 MB. But still, nowhere near IE8. More RAM probably because of integration with core OS. Do NOT think I like IE.

@Ankur – Nice, make perfect sense.
@Aditya – You’re kinda wrong there…I tried it out, and it consumed around 80-85 MB only. IE’s RAM usage is unjustifiable.

1. WebSlices only work on sites modified to use it.
2. People who are mostly likely to use WebSlices are tech-savvy users – or at least those who use RSS feeds.
3. Tech-savvy users use browsers _other_ than IE – Firefox, Safari, Opera.
4. Nobody will use WebSlices.
5. Micro$oft is dumb. QED.
