I switched to Cent browser from Chrome because of the inability to switch to the old layout on Chrome 71. I like this browser, the customization is excellent, apart from the regular Chrome features. And, we get to switch to the old layout on it. I just wish they keep this option, when they upgrade the base code to Chromium 71, right now the base code is Chromium 70.

Firefox's new feature will automatically unload old and unused tabs from Firefox's memory, saving RAM. The feature is already live in Firefox Nightly versions where it is enabled by default.
