it hogs my memory if there's no other software running
What exactly is wrong with that? Do you understand how RAM works on a computer?
Maybe your system is different, but for me, FF 57+ uses much more CPU than Chrome, and unlike RAM, that's a statistic that actually affects something in a meaningful way (increased power consumption).
If you're worried about Chrome using RAM when nothing else is, you might be fetishizing the concept of free RAM.
