Internet Browsers that doesnt consume a lot of RAM
Internet Browsers that doesnt consume a lot of RAM
don't exists
What about ones that don't eat cpu
Unironically, Edge.
Qtbrowser
Surf, w3m

Do they though?
Even webkit uses things like the gigacage but even though it might appear to be using 99GiB of memory, doesn't mean it actually is using that much.
What
Luakit.
Heap isolation technique in webkit2. It allocates large amounts of memory relying on kernel support of overcommit. Basically all the heaps are separated by gigabytes of memory.
So it doesn't use memory, it just prevents other things from using memory it might later on
Opera 12.18
Falkon
That's not how overcommit works.
This thread made me realize I haven't checked how much RAM lynx uses
i tried to use qutebrowser but it was too unintuitive.
i used to use palemoon but it now also sucks and is incompatible with all my extensions.
what am i supposed to use other than firefox (particularly on my windows machines)?
Midori
internet explorer 6
the Chromium build that is currently in the arch repo
An old build of Firefox
How does it then?
GNU Icecat
if i remember correctly there was a gba ram expansion for the ds lite that allowed you to run opera
Bumb
This is a good thread
Microsoft edge
K melon
Midori
Opera
Palemoon
I have an old 2007 vista laptop that I sometimes like to mess around on, it only has 2gb of ram and runs opera and midori just fine.
Edge
wget.
Or lynx, if you are a lazy, fat slob.
no extensions/add-ons
False
netsurf
dillo
It's websites that cause the RAM bloat, web browsers only contribute a fraction of it.
Just get 32 gb of ram
Where is the source code?
FPBP
The amount of delusional people claiming Chromium is more bloated than Firefox and vice versa is insane.
I'll never understand why people hold graphical browsers to this unattainable goal of being minimal without compromise. It's like if people started saying that video editors could be less taxing on resources no matter what content you throw at it. It just won't happen. The sooner people accept this, the sooner we can focus more on aspects that actually have real fluctuations in magnitude between browsers like privacy and modularity.

definately not falkon. shits the same as chrome
I switched from Chromium to Midori recently. This browser is pretty based desu. The adblocker is good and it has a javascript blocker as well. It also supports custom userscripts. Best of all, it uses much less RAM than Chrome does.
I will admit, it can be slow sometimes but for the most part web pages load very fast. I'm happy with the change and would reccomend Midori to anybody.
not a problem.
>Windows
Gross. Go back to /v/.
Is there anything someone would actually miss from RAM-gobbling browsers?
Links2
based luakit poster
Opera 9.62
Internet browsers don't really consume that much memory. It is extensions and extra crap that are the main culprits of memory consumption.
