I also switched to Chromium a few years ago because it felt way more responsive at the time. Then slowly over time it grew into this beast using over 7GB of memory for my ~50 reasonable tabs (nothing extreme, mostly articles) and it started thrashing my system.
I've just recently switched back to Firefox and opened the exact same tabs: it's using 1.25GB. It feels a little slower at times but well within my requirements of usability. I refuse to waste all my memory for some text in a browser.
