But then, you don't usually run into memory pressure with 8 GB and Linux unless you do a few specific things (for me with 32-128 GB depending on machine it's C++ builds using all cores and of course local LLMs). I guess a bunch of Electron apps would also do it for 8 GB.

- ahartmetz 6mo agoUse Firefox then
- kergonath 6mo agoFair enough, Firefox is a bit better. But not that much, a lot of the bloat comes from unoptimised web pages running megabytes of JavaScript. Also, Firefox is close to a rounding error nowadays.
- ahartmetz 6mo agoWhat does it matter how many other people use Firefox if it's the better browser for your situation? FWIW I've never really considered Chrome: First it looked ugly (weird UI and bad font rendering on Linux), then Google gave itself permission to be evil and then they limited ad blockers. They fixed the font rendering at some point.
