hey /tech/, I need your help

I've been using firefox for years because it was a comfortable choice, but it's always been eating my ram and it's been getting ridiculous after the last update, sometimes reaching even 3 gigabytes of ram usage.

A change needs to be made, and I need a new browser. Preferably one I could carry all my bookmarks over to, and one that can run my plugins (ACM, adnauseam and such). Can anyone give me some advice regarding browser choice?

The usual suspects: PaleMoon and uhh, I was going to say WaterFox and CyberFox. Forget about those. PaleMoon it is. (AdNauseam is blocked on it by default but as usual you can force to install it.)

yet, I'd suggest you try out GNU/IceCat as well. PaleMoon will definitely not use more than 1g of ram.

Disable JavaScript or stop visiting 8chan.

Here is why Firefox eats a ton of RAM and dies on you: https://8ch.net/sudo/res/54875.html

It's a problem with 8chan that's fucking your browser.

Besides that OP use this and set it to 1: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

All of you are tech-illiterate shilltards pushing your shitty forks of Firefox and not knowing why Firefox is fucking up in the first place.

Not an issue in palemoon :^)

Pathetic. If you optimize icecat enough you can get 150+ tabs and 750MB's of ram used if only pictures and text are loaded.


 No.807138>>807147

Seems plausable, it's not a bad browser, yet I won't believe you unless you provide an evidence. I haven't optimized anything in palemoon, though, it's like that by design :^)

Why does the furfag make threads constantly pretending he's a retard who doesn't understand how memory management works?

Not to mention the latest update to firefox, the dev edition at least, reduced memory footprint significantly.

But memory doesn't matter, at least the one that your winfag task manager is saying was consumed, because it always gives it back if the operating system asks.

Fuck off with this thread. You have not said anything new the first ten thousand times you made it, and you will not say anything new as long as your autist browsers continue to exist.

So you're fine with something requiring two different versions of GTK, two vpx codecs, pulseaudio, fucking imake in this century, gstreamer, but you draw the line at rust? You fucking idiot.
