how have we gotten to the point where 200+ MB of RAM usage on a browser tab is normal? like how do you even fill up that much RAM with a simple webpage? on a good day Firefox “only” uses 3GB of RAM on my system :/

these aren’t pages full of flashy videos and images either. they’re for doing basic things like checking my email, so where is that 200 MB coming from?

@kasdeya Did you disable ai bullshit in advanced settings? from what I recall, it takes a lot of RAM/CPU even when you don't use it

@desea aw thank you for asking! to be honest it’s more just idle curiosity (and also just complaining of course) so no need to go out of your way, but I appreciate it!

@Soblow oh it does? I’ll disable that right now - I’ve literally never used it. thanks for letting me know!

@kasdeya I'm not sure it'll be a magic solution tho, but it may help!

@kasdeya it IS super peculiar! i’ve been trying to figure this one out for ages, since a kilobyte- webpage seems to inflate to something like 15mb ram usage as well. maybe there’s storage related to how widgets are loaded in with html?
