Just installed firefox cause chrome is RAM hungry

What are people using now that Firefox shit the bed?
I held off from updating past 52, but now a lot of sites are malfunctioning because of it.

I meant empty google tab.

Right now it's at 700MB and i only have Jow Forums open and one extension which is ublock origin.

it works!

yes firefox is a joke
use a real browser like chrome

Memory is to be used. It means that a whole bunch of shit is readily available.
So everything is fast and snappy :-)

60ESR like any sane person.
>a lot of sites
don't visit garbage?

> currently using chromium
> 87.2mb
Switched from firefox and I've been very happy so far.

screenshot or you are lying

chromium is horrible, use ungoogled chromium at the very least

Why do you have RAM if you don't want it to be used?

That's not even that much RAM

Bump for this

how to make tabs and address bar on one line like you desu? @_@

It's not much for me cause I have 16 gigs of ram but for someone with a 4gb laptop it's a lot.

stop using the web faggot and fuck off.

Windows will use more RAM if it's available. This is actually a good thing that helps performance. Firefox performs just fine on lower spec hardware too.

>no tabs in screenshot
Do you know how this works?

This will get you started. Goes in userChrome.css

Just fucking open firefox you lazy cunt.

Ooh alright, guess it's good then.

How much total ram you have?

This, you autists.

Everything uses so much fucking RAM for no reason nowadays.

First of all uninstall discord, and figure out what uses so goddamn much on firefox cause that's not normal at all, user.

it's largely my 200ish e621.net tabs and 4 linustechtips youtube tabs all with the little button to autoplay the next video checked.

But it's still pretty awful, old pre-quantum firefox would be able to do this without going over 2gb.

>and 4 linustechtips youtube tabs all with the little button to autoplay the next video checked
why?

no adblock

u wut m8?
I have 4gb ram and I have firefox opened all day (8+ hrs)

been messing with ungoogled-chromium

Every modern web browser is extremely bad. If you want a proper browser, there's qutebrowser, but I'm guessing you'll complain about lack of addons and such. If you don't want these bloated monstrosities that run like shit and eat all your system resources, you need to reevaluate what you think a web browser is and how things got to this point.

>open firefox with one tab
>ctrl-w
>firefox process is still running

is that steve1989?

>Modern browsers use spare not-used ram as cache for faster web browsing
>Brainlets gets confused
Everytime, same thing since vista/7 superfetch

596 MBs on my end. 5 tabs + Youtube and Discord ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

14 tabs open currently and im using 416mb on FF60
seems fine to me.

I have uBlock Origin, HTTPS everywhere, Onii-Chan and 4chanx via Greasemonkey, WebRTC disabled, and Decentraleyes.

thank you user

Modern software allocates RAM based on how much RAM you have available, retards. This is good practice. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. If you're really concerned about performance issues, run a benchmark, don't just open task manager post online about the big scary numbers that you see.

Vivaldi
It's just Chromium modded by ex-Opera devs

Keep in mind that most websites nowadays load 4 different JavaScript engines on top of eachother to render text, that shit devours RAM like an American a McDonalds menu

I mean, if you're not doubling your ram every 5 years maximum I don't think efficient programming will save you.

Does it supports extensions now?

>Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
Get this bullshit out of here.

How?

Ok so what do you think RAM is doing while it's not being used?

Lying dormant, ready for use should it be needed

>literally willing to have a slow as shit computer if it meant no RAM is being used

>literally putting words in my mouth

you literally said "should it he needed"
your disk cache occupies most of your RAM that isn't needed most of the time. It's your own words that implied you don't want your RAM to be used under any circumstances unless an application needs the space.

>It's your own words that implied you don't want your RAM to be used under any circumstances unless an application needs the space.
Such as the caching application

so you agree that caching is okay but when a program suddenly is taking up a visible significant space because of it's own caching then suddenly it's not okay
Your RAM is never dormant, you fucking retard. Something is always occupying most of the space

>Your RAM is never dormant, you fucking retard. Something is always occupying most of the space
I don't think I've ever exceeded 500MB usage and I've got 5GB

Because Disk Cache is never reported by your Task Manager. It's there occupying the rest of the space that isn't being used by any active application.

I opened up 65 tabs in chrome yesterday and got 9.9gb ram usage. I started worrying when it kept jumping up 300mb every second.

Waterfox or Vivaldi.

>This is good practice. Unused RAM is wasted RAM

Unused RAM is RAM to be taken up by bloat, so it now stops being "optional" RAM, then becomes "recommended" RAM, finally "required" RAM.

Ok cool, so you know nothing about how computers actually work

You should have enough ram that your cpu isn't bottlenecked.
You shouldn't have too little because

>You should have enough ram that your cpu isn't bottlenecked.
That statement makes no sense for many reasons.
A program can use 16mb of RAM and 100% CPU
a program can use 4gb of RAM and 2% CPU

to stop CPU/RAM bottlenecks the concern is latency/bandwidth.

if you run out of RAM that turns into an i/o bottleneck and you're up shit creek without a paddle at that point

yes it does

has to be bait

BULLSHIT. Having used RAM uses up your performance. Instead of getting that silky smooth browsing experience you get everything lagging and jittering.
Because your PC instead of staying st 0% and using just 20% temporarily for an action. It now stays at 20% permanently and goes up to 40% while doing actions.

This is fucking disgusting.

it's a windows thing

you can try this
limit processes to 1 or 2

you mean gogl.com? desu that page wrecks my ram/hdd with fast read/writes in amount of 1 (one) gigabyte if i have javascript disabled via CSP

show

about:performance

calm down autist
it's only bad when your ram is almost all used and it starts to use the hdd and ff does work fine on 1 or 2 gb of ram at least the linux one

about:preferences#general performance

Firefox is a joke

>FF has a serious memory leak that destroys even medium length sessions.

This
Leave a youtube playlist running for a few hours, enjoy 2-3 gb usage.
I wouldn't even notice that on my desktop PC but it gets a laggy shit show on my laptop.

you can homepage your own "site" on any free static website provides tho

nou

Is there a decent GUI browser thst doesn't use a shitload of RAM anymore?
