I have one bigger complaint: It blows my mind that web browsers take GBs of ram to run. I mean, c'mon, it's 2019 how can we not address that? It's probably the biggest concern I hear from everyone that uses Chrome and knows how to read their task/app manager
- 9dev 8y agoLeaving aside everything else, how is that even relevant? Even cheap laptops have 8gigs of ram these days, most have 16. Considering the browser is becoming the de-facto single application used at all for most people, what else would they need their ram for?
- orliesaurus 8y agoIf you use machines in schools usually you end up having older laptops or netbooks. That's why matters IMHO. Definitely not for the person who is a dev and has fully decked out macbooks or thinkpads...
- quickthrower2 8y agoIt's probably the web page causing that. I am sure a single chrome window with https://news.ycombinator.com https://news.ycombinator.com inside it won't use GBs.
