Two tabs open. Fucking piece of shit

How many extensions do you have?

>>105770591

Yeah that's why I stopped using Firefox all together I am using Thorium rn its better than brave faster and way lighter on the RAM but you need to degoogle it

>>105770574 (OP)
This is why when you open 100 tabs of porn, the tabs unload when you switch away causing them to have to reload when you switch back. It's annoying and I hate it

>>105770618
There's your answer.

>>105770829
Amazing how Chromium doesn't shit itself with more while Firefox does

>>105770680
Ungoogled Chromium is better than both.

>using firefox on OpenBSD with pledge and unveil
>200MB of RAM used at boot with auto start of emacs+terminal
>Open Firefox
>Open 1 tab
>RAM in use jumps to 2.8GB
Don't try to convince me any other browser is good. They're all shit. Which is why I stick to browsing with eww in emacs when possible.

Is this really the browsers fault? Isnt it all the javasaar code eating ram?

>>105770574 (OP)
now open four tabs
does it use twice the ram?

>>105771435
>They're all shit
Not for long

>>105770574 (OP)
poorfag.

lol

>>105771414
agree, also librewolf has been pretty tight for me as well

I literally can't imagine being this destitute where I couldn't afford pic related for something I use everyday.

Fucking shoot me if I end up like OP

>>105771613
>>105771648
>>105771698
I have 32 but even if I had a petabyte it wouldn't make Firefox being a piece of shit acceptable

>>105770618
>what is sandboxing
the absolute state of niggers I deal with here

God forbid devs from using your system resources and optimize for modern day multicore processors so it runs faster on 32gb system from today

>caring about ram usage of a web browser in 2025
are you all poor?

>>105771664
Same. I use both interchangeable

>>105771978
There are types here who unironically think we never should have advanced past 6GB RAM and 1280x720 resolution

>>105770574 (OP)
What do you expect exactly? Processes are basically the only isolation mechanisms browsers can rely on on every platform. Sharing memory (threads) is how bugs become fullblown escapes.

>>105771698
>he's still using ddr3 memory
hhhhhhhhh so yeah you're the poorfag

>>105770618
>ublock origin private mode
;^)

>>105770591
Why do extensions need their own dedicated process? Why should 8 extensions make it use 2GB of RAM?

>>105771502
My Palemoon window which has 4 tabs open right now is only using 568MB of RAM. Even if I have a load of tabs open it rarely goes past 1GB.

Having money to burn is no excuse for being wasteful.

>>105772708
Now open a few Youtube tabs

>>105772708
I wouldn't trust a furry to maintain a browser when the existence of adnauseum vex him greatly for some reason.

>>105772723
I opened three youtube tabs, two of videos, one on the homepage. It climbed up to 1.2GB for a minute, then went back down to 1GB.

It'd probably help if I knew what sites op had in those two tabs.

>>105770574 (OP)

>>105772688
cool it with the antisemitism

or at least take it to /pol/

>>105772764
data bricks' home page uses 400 MB upon initial loading

3 GB how

it's probably not that bad in reality

>>105770574 (OP)
Of course it seems obscene if you're oldschool.
But really, how much of that is a) not cached and b) not shared?
I suspect a lot of it is cached data as I noticed that Firefox started performing better when I moved its cache storage from HDD to SSD.

>>105772880
memory is there to be used

>>105772889
It's like people who complain about MacOS using all their RAM when what it's actually doing is filling unused ram with disk cache. RAM uses power regardless of if it's allocated or not and freeing up cache if you need more memory is fast just as accessing files from RAM is still way faster than hitting the SSD.

This is what schizophrenia looks like.

>have 25 tabs open
>about 20 of them are 4chan tabs constantly being updated
>hw accel is disabled to not eat all my GPU
>firefox's still only using 1.3GB of RAM
how the fuck do you people manage to fuck everything up somehow

>>105770618
YOU DON'T HAVE DARK READER?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Go open up 1 YouTube live video with over 5k viewers, then open up its chat to see some real shit

>>105774684
JewTube's JS must leak like sieve. If have a tab on that it just consooms and ever-growing amount of memory. If I close it and open a new tab it goes back to a sane amount of memory consumption. Same happens in Safari as well. I refuse to use Chrome.

>way lighter on the RAM

>>105770574 (OP)
Sounds like a you problem. I have 1330 open, a few hundred of which or 4chins tabs with a few scripts. Whole system is just at 10GB used. Since I prefer KDE, a bit of that is probably the bloat of the KDE itself.

>>105771598
Microsoft tried that, then gave up when google kept making non-standard changes to YT.

ITT ramlets

>caring about 1GB of RAM use
Lol

>>105772598
I'm actually on DDR5
I'm just plainly aware that every tard fussing about RAM is more than likely on some 10+ year old ddr3 shitbox

>>105776168

Wtf uses YouTube in 2025. Invidious you retarded faggot Zoomer

shut the fuck up zoomers. you didn't know what linux was until pewdiepie mentioned it last week.

open face book page
scroll down
you now have no more free ram

>>105777675

>>105774079
it's GlowReader now

i have 32 giganiggas of RAM and firefox still manages to fill it to capacity

>>105771960

that's your problem

>>105770618
Fucking retard.

>>105780058
Good goy

>SAAAAAAR THE MEMORY BEING UNUSED IS THE WAISTED MEMORY SAAAAAAAR
Curryniggers try to make it about you being poor instead of about how they wrote something that uses 30GB of ram to still be unresponsive as balls.

>>105771072
using more ram doesn't mean shitting itself tho
i have a fuck ton of ram and hate how chromium based browser unload tabs for no reason.

>>105771960
>Browser hoards all my memory
>The moment I try and do anything else my computer shits the bed because my browser was using all my memory

>>105780909
after 10gb of ram firefox starts acting weird. like reading the hard drive a lot and doing other shit like using my 2nd mechanical even if I deactivate some cache options. so when it goes over 10gb i just restart it.

i have 48gb of ram btw.
