Made a test with three tabs (phoronix, google home page, reddit).
System usage with chromium and firefox closed is 584MB.
System usage with chromium is 1.1GB.
System usage with firefox is 933MB.
Surely not a rigorous test but firefox is lighter here. Same sort of result with only one tab.

Luckily for Chrome haters (It's not my browser of choice either), there's Chromium and now Vivaldi. Those will fix all your issues, save for memory usage. I think Vivaldi is leaner, but I have only done a few casual tests, so most inconclusive.
