so like 2 3 years ago, FF would take infinite tabs with 8GB of RAM. Nowadays, it'll struggle with 32GB.

(You) are an expert, what says (You)?
>inb4 get more RAM
hahahaha, No
>>
anyone knows what I'm talking about at least?
>>
>>108827920
SAAAAAAARRRRR OPTIMIZING RAM USAGE IS VEWY HAWD SAAAAAAAAR
>>
>>108828383
Not really, it works fine for me. Also you shouldn't ever need to have more than 10 tabs open, bookmarks are there for a reason. Even in death, I still surf the internet.
>>
>>108828395
nah bro, I'll take my 50 tabs browsing exp as I should
you seem to think I keep tabs saved for bookmark reasons, that's not the case, I use bookmarks for that
>>
>>108828394
it's not about optimizing, it's about forking the pre mem fuckery leak version
>>
>>108828428
>as I should
You never need 50 tabs at the ready.
>>
>>108828471
stfu nigger, I could use them in FF pre mem leak and I should now specially with 4x the mem I got now
>>
>>108828484
You didn't use them, you used 5 or 10 at most. There's absolutely no reason to keep 50 tabs open, you fucking retard.
>>
>>108828500
stfu nigger, last (You)
>>
anyone else still remembers pre-memory leak FF?
>>
>>108827920
I use the latest firefox on my chromebook and it has no problem keeping 10+ tabs open with only 4GB
>>
>>108829032
Win 10 and 11 here. just fuck my shit up regarding ram consumption with 32 gb, 8 gb used to be more than enough
>>
>>108829068
It's not that bad. If you really care about ram just use arch.

How many extensions do you use ? Can you list them ? Maybe one of them is destroying your RAM.
>>
>>108828500
I have 30 4chan tabs open. I don't understand what you're saying.
>>
>>108829076
I've been told FF doesn't leak on loonix, big if troo
>>
>>108829090
just uo pretty sure that's not the problem, it's always after a ffupdate that tanks performance, very transparent
>>
>>108829173
You have a thread watcher, idiot. Use it.

>>108828547
Throw your fucking computer away, dipshit. You're too retarded to operate it.

some years ago FF took my input to improve the styles tab and add auto-complete to it (they had it in the main tab of element inspector already), now I'm saying HELLO FIREFOX, REVERT TO PRE-MEMORY LEAK VERSION K THX BAI
but who am I kidding, they probably got paid by big corpos to introduce it in the first place
>>
want to firefox about:config toggle browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory true , false anon
>>
>>108831458
>browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory
wouldn't that be counter productive? the name suggests that its unloading tabs when shit's rough, which should boost perf
>>
>>108827920
You need this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/
>>
And 18 years ago it could open hundreds of tabs with only 1Gb of RAM and without the tab unloading trick
>>
>>108831876
after recently learning (not from experience) that extenssions can steal or leak your data I choose to keep it minimal with extensions
>>
>>108831983
>we lost the technology
funny how that works
>>
>>108832008
The main issue is websites going from basic html/js with everything complex handled server side or with external binary plugins to everything done through javascript frameworks
>>
>>108827920
just switch to Vivaldi, it's optimized for multi window multi tab stack multi split browsing with 100+ open tabs
it still supports manifest v2, too
