Yep. Interesting points. One of the points I think they are missing is that while the core browser may not be leaky, extensions certainly are. I've watched Firebug kill system in Vista Before, with almost 2gb, and some of the ad blocker extensions are also dicey.

It's interesting because WebKit is picking up so much momentum. The problem with WebKit is that they JS implementation sucks.
