Normies still parroting that chrome eats ram like crazy.
Meanwhile, retards here still shilling shitfox like it's 2008 and mootzilla isn't a bloated corpse.

>casually eats 2GB of ram on a single youtube tab after a few hours
meanwhile chrome maxes out at 500MB, smooth playback, zero stutter

Both clean installs across all major OSes I use daily.

Why are you still shilling this garbage tier browser?

>inb4 muh privacy!!!1
lmao shitfox literally mines telemetry in sneakier ways than Chrome. At least Google is upfront about it. Mozilla hides it behind “studies” and “experiments” toggles that nobody asked for.

>inb4 muh UBO
UBOLite works perfectly fine on Chrome, retard. And guess what? Chrome’s extension ecosystem isn’t a graveyard of abandoned projects.

The list goes on
>shitfox performance is objectively worse, broken hardware acceleration, CPU spikes for no reason.
>websites break constantly. Devs don’t even bother testing for it anymore. You’re basically browsing the web on unsupported mode
>updates are clown tier. Every release is “we fixed some obscure bug” while Chrome is pushing actual features.

but nah, keep coping with your muh open source freedom fantasy while you’re running a browser that’s basically a glorified RAM stress test.

shillfox is the linux desktop of browsers: loud minority shills it, everyone else uses Chrome because it actually just werks.

Nobody asked for your opinion, retard

I've noticed that if I leave a YouTube tab open too long it starts to shit itself. It doesn't happen with other websites though.

Chrome is always worse.
At least Firefox doesn't slow down when it crosses 4GB anymore. That used to be a problem for a long time, part of the reason I went to Chrome.

Youtube is basically written to break non-Chromium browsers.
It's a constant battle for other browsers to keep Youtube working.

>>107642061
I thought Firefox was Chromium.

Memory leaks, same as it's been since early last decade.

Firefox is the only mainstream browser that isn't chromium
If you want to use Youtube properly, your best play is to keep a chrome profile specifically for it. Or just use Invidious. Google does everything in their power to make Youtube unusable outside chrome

That's me.

That should be the only thing everyone does.

Isn't Firefox's main problem the constant writes thing that can as you'd expect causes trouble with SSDs? I keep procrastinating setting up a ramdisk specifically to deal with that.
My source is that anonymous from 4chan told me about this problem a month or two ago and I believed him.

>>107641937
You sound like a desperate brave bot making shit up.

>>107641937
Can't rice Chrome. And only Firefox has Sidebery.

Reminder that st (my terminal emulator of choice) + zsh (my shell of choice) + yt-dlp (my browser of choice) + mpv (my media player of choice) doesn't have this problem and memory usage peaks at around 200MiB and drops down to few MiB required for st and zsh when I'm done watching.
This is not dependent on video size or resolution because my mpv is configured to only load next 10s of any video it plays and I download directly to my HDD instead of being a streamcuck who waits for bufferGOD to allow him to watch the video.
