This pains me too. It's hard to believe that all the new "browser technology" is responsible for this bloat.
On the other hand, I will trade memory use for many things. One thing that is infuriating to me is that despite the memory hog, a single tab can still crash the whole browser. All the memory use doesn't even buy you failure isolation.
