I haven't noticed the issue with browsers, probably 'cause I'm one of these one-tab-at-a-time weirdos, but I'm going to want more RAM at the very least until I have as much RAM as storage (so, always) and files are only ever read once per power-on. Of course files might be compressed on disk and optimally not compressed in memory, and of course I might want to connect to internet services and download data to store in memory that never goes to disk. So I'll still want more RAM some point past the hypothetical world where I have as many terabytes of RAM as I do storage. For the last 10 years or more, whenever someone is building a computer and asks for my advice, I look their build over and say "I would double the RAM." If they follow the advice and ask for any more advice on the build, I look it over and say "I would double the RAM." It's because it is so much faster than disk.
