WHY DOES FIREFOX USE SO MUCH MEMORY?

Because you're poor

Opera uses more, don't feel bad

Javascript. That's it, basically, if you dump all the JS in the bin (FF, like Chrome, uses it not only as part of web pages but also builds most of the browser UI from it) you could fit a graphical browser inside of, oh, 128MB, 64 if you spent some time tightening things up.

What is this, the last day of hannakah?

Go buy more ram, Julio

>10 years of poor development practice and bloat means he's poor

If people stopped taking advantage of new hardware and programmed their shit efficiently nobody would need more than 6-8gb still. It's bad practice that you practically demand 16-32gb on a PC and 8GB on a fucking phone.

Firefox is currently using up 5 gigs for me

I keep 32gb of ddr4 2133 (that’s 4k MHz double data rate)

Even though I keep small workloads aside from compiling, works like a dream

I suggest everyone max out their ram, my board supports 64gb but I just can’t shell out 600$ for something I use as an enthusiast

3GB with 784 tabs open

Apparently you don't know how to use about:config
search for cache. There are half a dozen settings for changing how firefox uses ram.

Use bookmarks illiterate fuck.

Because you're dumb.

Mine doesn't even reach 1gb after having it on all day. I stopped updating after v54 tho.

This is literally their excuse. I am uncapable of understanding this reasoning: a web browser does not run alone on a system, you can't go stealing user RAM like that.

about:blank doesnt use much memory

It's because everyone decided to start making web apps instead of web sites, so now they are constantly leaking random nonsense into your memory. You can probably allocate a fixed amount of RAM to the browser.

hahaha.. nice one. you.. I like you.

>mfw actually viewing this on ff right now
wew lad
is Brave any good
and more importantly can i have 4chanx there

dear Mr 2003 please fuck off back to redtits and buy a modern computer

Why does Firefox shit the bed in Javascript benchmarks? I notice it lagging with Jow Forums x and it kinda pisses me off. Anybody use chromium or ungoogled chromium on windows?

>WHY DOES FIREFOX USE SO MUCH MEMORY?
Why do you care? Don't you have enough RAM?
What do you use the left-over RAM for?

4chanx
Cringe and bloatpilled

Use ice cat

>WHY DOES FIREFOX USE SO MUCH MEMORY?

>next generation proprietary memory allocation techniques.
STRINGS, VECTORS, STL, BOOST
all this shit slow as f-ck
INSTEAD OF USING NAMSPASES CREATE MUH OBJECTS
then use em for creating memory leaks everevere

how many fucking tabs do you heathens keep open at once? I've never seen firefox use more than 1.5 GB of my 16 GB

sir please close taskmgr to allocate more memory for mozilla
