- alpaca128 8mo agoA couple YouTube tabs are enough if you leave them running for long enough. Just one YT browser process will easily take up 1-4GB sooner or later.

- alpaca128 8mo agoI am talking from experience with an M1 & 8GB RAM. I had to restart either the browser or the YouTube browser processes at least once every couple days to stop the whole system from lagging.
- bluedino 8mo agoA couple Facebook Marketplace tabs that have videos of the item for sale would absolutely crush my 2017 MacBook Pro. My M1 Air would slow down a little, but was still usable doing the same thing. And they both had 8GB of memory.
- yohannparis 8mo agoWhile I agree with your statement, I don't think judging one's way of working and using their computer was necessary.
- eru 8mo agoI could have two browser windows open in the late 1990s. I have about a thousand times as much RAM now. So even with 10x more bloat in the pages, I should be able to open 200 tabs just fine.
