Browser Bloat

Also this is only with 3 tabs open, all of which are 4chan threads.

They don't *require* it, they just use what's available. RAM is there to be used, mongoloid.

So they do, otherwise it wouldn't be 1GB.

> they just use what's available
Are you saying it somehow detects my memory total then uses it based on that amount?

>RAM is there to be used
>Ram is to be used, so let's use up 25%(modern user has 4GB ram). Fuck whatever else the user has running.

This is cancerous logic and I hope you never are in charge of designing anything.

Faster hardware and internet has made web and program coders lazy

>>60424138
Pretty much.

I mean it's insane that a web browser is using twice as much as a fucking 3D game dev editor.

Just bloat my shit up senpai.

Clearly they don't or they'd fill all 12 GB.

196KB, 1024x768px

they don't it's the pages themselves that use most of the memory

>>60424061
only webkit/blink ones do
firefox does not have this problem

No, but your OS "somehow" detects your memory total and assigns it to programs.

You're just showing how absolutely clueless about technology you are.

Indirectly, yeah. Try running a VM with only 1 GB of memory and see the difference.

Also use the documentation if you want to know what actually fills out that gigabyte of memory – I bet it's a large amount of tabs (and therefore web pages with a huge DOM and Javascript each) and/or extensions.

Nice argument you have there.

>>60425254
That wasn't an argument, sperglord. It was just a statement of fact.

Polarity browser uses like 4MB per open page, how come most mainstream browsers use 150+ MB per page?

Since they got rid of all the good programmers it's gone to absolute shit
