this; every time the ublock origin absolutists insist that everyone must use Firefox or die I just wonder if they never open more than one or two tabs anyway. hell, a sufficiently complex web app running in a single tab can make FF choke
You got it wrong actually. Firefox is not really actively using all the ram. It’s more like reserving it. The system does that too. When the actual used RAM gets low, Firefox releases some of this unused RAM.
tell me you have no idea how firefox and ram reserving work without saying you have no idea how firefox and ram reserving work
jokes aside, if the system needs the ram reserved by firefox, the system will get it. it is just faster to rserve ram that is expected to maybe be needed
Yeah. Firefox will gladly make itself comfy in my 32Gb… It’s annoying because just because 80% of RAM is “used” doesn’t mean it is really.

Both you and @SaltyIceteaMaker are completely wrong. There is no such thing as “reserving” memory.

I mean I run ubo and firefox. And have hundreds of tabs open. On any system, it lags so I know the struggle.
