🤍 Appeal to the Browser Goddesses 🤍

Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn’t an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.

Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it’s already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
Should Amazon’s website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google’s main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb

There are no “good reasons” for these inefficiencies. We don’t suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.

They’ll adjust their usage downwards if other apps need the memory.

If it really works that way (which I doubt) then I don’t want my apps to spend resources on constantly monitoring the RAM situation.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

Always be civil and respectful
Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don’t be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don’t post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don’t post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don’t accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
