On my 2GB netbook, chrome has gone from my preferred browser to unusable due to the high memory footprint of recent builds. I wonder if this cleanup will help get the memory down to something reasonable like where it was up until Chrome 10 or so.



Doubt it. I think these were part of the project that weren't even distributed.


Recently it's been crashing for me left and right. This seems to happen with chrome over the years, ebb and flow of functional non-functional. I just switch back to Firefox during that time.
