Good day everyone,
A very happy new year to you all!
I'm running LTSP on Ubuntu (Edubuntu 14.04) and from a resources and
user-experience point-of-view, which is a lighter load on the server?
Firefox or Chrome?
Thank you
Joseph
From an LTSP perspective, with thin clients Firefox is better. Chrome
renders screens differently, and the net result is that things like
scrolling are sluggish on clients.
For my purposes, Chrome also suffers from more bugs:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=392777
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=369100
But someone did make a good point about Firefox memory leakage issues.
In any case, I install both because sometimes certain web pages do
better with one browser than another. I'm also hoping to use Chrome
Remote Desktop (Remote Assistance) on the servers if the developers fix
this show-stopper bug:
