I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.
Yep, I didn't buy that RAM to sit being unused.
It's specifically about the efficiency of the usage. If it's not used effectively, then it really is a waste.
And we all know how efficient the Web is nowadays...

If it did a good job freeing it up when needed then sure, but it doesn't.

they're right tho
Yeah. Use Firefox or kiss a free Internet goodbye.
I worry even Firefox is losing its principles on the matter.
Then use a firefox fork that's more in line with your beliefs. It's a pro of open source

I'm never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don't really care.

Firefox uses lots of RAM
And not very efficiently either, can't seem to handle 99+ tabs and starts getting unstable as you get closer to that number.
Chrome at least can handle 300-600 tabs across 30 windows (The most I've ever pushed it) without breaking a sweat
I think you have a tab problem.
I suggest you try out a 12 step program. Tabaholics Anonymous works.
Are you the guy that posted on the Microsoft forums about Edge crashing after 1600 open tabs?
Hell the fuck no, I only ever run a single tab in edge, the tab to download another browser
FUCK edge

Yep, I use Firefox for the idea, but let's stop kidding ourselves that it is in any way memory efficient or fast
Best thing about Firefox is stability somehow it works nearly all devices

They should, might be in a better mood then..
I was at a party a few weeks ago and when we needed to use a web browser, one of the first things that happened was one of the attendees taking the computer to install FireFox.
people don't complain to get solutions, they complain so everyone knows how miserable they are

I put in a tailplug and put on fox ears every time I use Firefox.
"I'm so used to getting fucked by Chrome and Edge that I just feel like something's missing if I don't."
I actually got kicked out of school because I wouldn't use internet explorer, but Firefox is still the best option. Always was. Even if you need a special chair.

Both have anime profile pictures so both are losers
Ngl, I've never had issues with either for ram. my experience with Firefox is mostly the sameas chrome with ram usage. The main reason Im on Firefox is cause it's been a whole lot more stable for me than chrome.

Firefox users may very well be doing that and no one will know because Google is not spying on them through their browser.

As for the last question, yes the murring and the tail thingy aren't forbidden, to be clear.
