This. Right here. We could perhaps forgive the memory bloat if it was only in proportion to the feature set, but stuff is in all practical cases actually SLOWER to do the core functions than it was years ago. Only Chrome, for all it's faults, actually seems worth its memory demands among the major apps I use when you consider how many tabs loading crappy bloated pages you can have open simultaneously while it all pretty much runs. But in general, it's absolutely unacceptable how most modern apps run given their resource use.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoThis is why I have to laugh when people suggest browsing with JS enabled. Do you have an idea what it would do to my system performance to open 20 tabs of this crap. Yet I still see pages that say, well, I can see that you turned off JavaScript, visitor, but you're wrong, and my site is a special snowflake (which needs 5-20 JavaScript includes from third-party domains) and please enable it before I show you a blog post with a couple of images... The good news is that almost without fail, the content on these sites is as good as the coding, and I've proven to myself time after time that I lose nothing by just closing the tab. In fact, I gain the time I would've wasted on reading low-quality content that rarely adds anything to my life.
