firefox rule
(slrpnk.net)
Pfft, everyone knows the cool kids use Lynx.
What is the acceptable amount of ram a browser should be using? Is there a way of knowing how much is “wasted”? Is it even possible to waste ram, like what is wasted, time? Electricity?
Its being wasted if a memory leak causes it to use all 32 gigs of ram and crash
Even if it doesn't eat that much if it latches on to a portion of Memory and won't give it up unless killed that's still bad, and would be considered wasted as nothing else can use it for anything.
Empty ram is wasted ram. In theory the system should use whatever is available to cache and streamline.

Sorry, the only solution is the web aborting JavaScript. never going to happen. trust me, i stand with richard stallman when it comes to javascript.
wat. lol. javascript has nothing to do with the memory consumption. just humans being shitty at their jobs.

Disagreed, memory Limiting definitely helps with over-consumption. Can't consume all the RAM when you only have access to 8GB of it.

I mean, you got like a 85% chance that anyone giving you software advice is, closer to 98% for hardware advice.

I also think the catgirl paws salute should be recognized as a salute.
I've been using the Firefox extension "Auto Tab Discard", which helps a lot with RAM usage. I like multi-tab-browsing and IME browsers just don't free up RAM when other applications need them.
wait so you just lose tabs you haven't opened in X mins?
i have a tab sleeping extension & generally throttle the ram with opera
It might be a bit of a misnomer. The tabs aren't deleted, just forcibly unloaded, and you can even prevent it from doing that on a per-tab-basis.

I tried that but I found that its effects on long term memory leakage weren't adequate for me, and it still consumed way too much RAM. Which is why I just decided to limit RAM for Firefox. It achieves a similar effect as the browser unloads tabs when it runs low on memory, it just doesn't wait until it's using 31GB of RAM and instead just uses up to 8GB (which is what I capped it at) before unloading tabs.
wait is that that shoebill
Whomst?
