I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.
It’s specifically about the efficiency of the usage. If it’s not used effectively, then it really is a waste.
And we all know how efficient the Web is nowadays…
Why could ram usage be a waste? I thought only the allocation is the performance heavy part, allocated ram does not cost extra performance.
Both have anime profile pictures so both are losers
they’re right tho
Then use a firefox fork that’s more in line with your beliefs. It’s a pro of open source
Damn… is this why I feel so empty inside? I’m using Firefox but no tail plug or furry action?
I’m never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don’t really care.
i just want a web browser that doesn’t cause me to have strokes, and doesn’t give me internet aids.
How fucking hard is it to write a piece of software jesus fucking christ.
Motherfucker have you tried looking at a browser implementation? It might just be the single most complex piece of software on the planet today. It’s basically an OS, JS environment and GUI toolkit in one
thats exactly the problem.
That would make sense as to why it’s such a dogshit piece of software, wouldnt it? That’s why windows is bad after all.
Also fun fact. I recently had a spat with firefox taking like 30s to startup, apparently for SOME fucking reason, someone thought a 25s timeout would be sane in the event that discord doesn’t detect xdg-desktop-settings or whatever the specific was.
I will never not be upset at people who don’t realize how ram works
I’d say it’s more the unwillingness to switch from shitty Chrome as if it was a bad thing to do.
Chromium browsers have a lot of issues, and so does firefox, but ram usage is not one of chromes weaknesses, Chromium regularly preforms better for me then firefox does under low ram scenarios, Both in terms of chrome being responsive, and in terms of chrome not crippling everything else around it.
