- Pannoniae 3y agoOn Firefox I can at least disable most of the isolated processes. I know it's not too secure but at the same time, I enjoy cutting memory usage by 3x, putting an end to the endless RAM consumption of my browser. (I have 32GB before someone says "just get more RAM" or "why do you use the internet with 4GB in 2023". But it still bothers me.) On Chromium I can't do that.
