Geeze!Open the Chrome Task Manager and see what's using the memory.
Since it was created, LOL? Being more serious, as you likely know, each tab is a separate process (for stability purposes) so that doesn't help things out much. FF seems to be the same way for me. And I haven't used IE in years so I cannot compare. But yeah, its a hog. But, unless you are looking, you wouldn't know it in most cases.
That site's just clickbait for the products they have a vested interest in. The 'reviews' mean nothing.
Chrome installation is scary. They don't tell you what version the file you are installing is, if you as much as touch the installation file, it installs itself "everywhere" without asking basic questions like where you want it installed, if you want it installed, and it immediately starts phoning home. You uninstall Chrome and Google Update is still pinging your firewall trying to send data out of your system... We've been complaining about Firefox a lot lately but at least eventually you can customize Firefox to do whatever you want it to do...
There's a distinct feeling of losing all control after you launch that Google Chrome setup... they may as well display "You're Ours Now!" right after you launch it

So I made the switch over to Chrome after the last few Firefox just refuse to stay open and randomly crash after watching 1 or 2 streaming videos, and, it has all the same or nearly same plugins available for it as I use in Firefox.
Now I see why Chrome is a pig. Currently 195 tabs in Chrome and it's taking about..... 9.1GB of ram.
And with everything else I have running (except my VMs), I'm sitting around 19.4GB ram in use. Who says that 32GiB isn't necessary in a home/gaming system?
