in looking over my stats, i can't say any of the instances of the browser itself are all that memory intensive (each tab is between 20 and 30 megs, flash-intensive sites can range from 50-80 megs per.)
extensions (i run 8 atm) are around 9 to 15 megs each, nothing terribly harsh there.
but then there is the flash plugin. with two tabs open (neither of which are really flash intensive), it's sucking up 100 megs atm. pop open a a few flash sites (games, any type of FB game, video, etc) and its consumption just goes ape. snl skit on hulu, farmville and a random youtube vidoe and the flash plugin was guzzling 300 megs by it's lonesome self.
so, at least from where i sit, a lot of the memory footprint in chrome seems to be tied to the flash plugin -- something that wouldn't surprise me if it's true in firefox as well. that said, chrome has never given me the bad memory leak issues that FF constantly subjected me too.
