Uses 50MB less memory as the sole tab in Firefox than iTunes does on my Mac. Easy decision to switch for normal playback purposes.

  Is 50MB that important? I would just use whatever provides you with the best experience (whichever that may be).

    He is either on a low powered device or overly focused on details. In my experience I have never needed to look at RAM usage on my 2017 16GB MBP, but sometimes I do check CPU usage just to see how hard that intense process is hitting the computer and when it finishes.

    Yes because I have a whole bunch of apps running at once over multiple screens and the extra 50MB per app adds up fast.

  > Uses 50MB less memory as the sole tab in Firefox than iTunes does on my Mac. Well that's because iTunes also includes Calendar, and Mail, and Safari... ;) https://youtu.be/psL_5RIBqnY?t=6254 https://youtu.be/psL_5RIBqnY?t=6254

    I wonder if it’s possible to trick iTunes into browsing the web. It is a web view, after all (or at least the store portion is).

    Didn't know Apple ever actually made jokes at their own expense. :-)
