I hate this kind of marketing BS. Mighty does not make Chrome faster, it just runs it on more powerful hardware in the cloud.
Crowing about how much less resources they consume is disingenuous. Of course it uses less resources locally when all the heavy lifting happens in the cloud.
Statements like “Mighty uses 10x less memory than Google Chrome.” are outright deception, it likely doesn’t use less memory at all, it just uses cloud memory instead of local.
I guess we shouldn’t ask about the ecological impact of all “Mighty” users having their browser running on beefy server hardware.
- hnnameblah365 5y agoThe website also infers that Mighty runs an ad-blocker, which itself is a huge boost to browser performance. For $0/month Mighty users could become uBlock Origin users, or Brave users, and speed up Chrome by some similar multiple. The "product" for sale is renting RAM and configuring an ad blocker. I wonder if their ad block plugin or ad list maintainers get any of Mighty"s fat monthly fee or if they're just selling someone else's hard work.
