How the fuck is this browser using that much RAM? I've got 4 fucking tabs open. What the fuck is this browser doing that requires 3GB of goddamn RAM?
Meanwhile Palemoon is using 283MB on my machine with 6 JS heavy tabs opened.

you know that it's irrelevant how much tabs you have open, it's all about what you do with them.

I didn't have an heavy pages open when I took that screenshot. A couple of 4chan threads, a GitHub page and a music theory page.
Why the hell does Firefox do this shit?
They siphon off the extra ram to give it to African kids so they can be programmers n sheit. Check your privilege.

must be a windows thing. I got 18 tabs open, one of which is playing HD HTML5 video in youtube, along with Visual studio code, a terminal emulator, a file manager and a PDF reader. It it still takes less ram than windows firefox

plebs.

It finally has multiprocess
Oh thank fuck! Welcome to 2009, Firefox!
I like the compromise approach it has of using 4 processes instead of a billion like Chrome does. I might actually give this browser a shot again.
