On a whim, I also opened the front page of reddit (again, in my web browser that's already opened) and the tab is taking 140MB fresh.
- forgotpwd16 5y agoIs this page resource usage on the browser or the total? Else, you used the browser's (about:performance in Firefox) or you system's task manager to get this figure? If the later, that is exactly what I meant with engine overhead. You should consider that initial figure shared among tabs/apps.
- caslon 5y agoI used about:performance; I'm not stupid. Is there no expectation of good faith here?
- forgotpwd16 5y agoStrange. It shows only 1.7MB on FF 89.0 (Linux, x64). That's why I thought you're checking the total memory. Then again the total in there is far smaller than what the system usage is, so this manager is unreliable.
- Jcowell 5y agoI know we don’t do this here but this made me chuckle. Favoriting this.
