Oh yeah, and win blows 10 is also an accessibility FUBAR, especially if the
windows explorer program dies, then the stupid start bar won’t work.

I know and Machines have felt very different in memory management than
intel. Even their Bulldozer architecture they really still felt very
snappy. And
Yeah, It isn’t just on linux where some of these apps have issues. OS X also
sees a lot of the same issues (I never maintain more than 4 open tabs of Chrome
and I don’t bother with Firefox as it’s an accessibility nightmare under
VoiceOver screen reader). About the only DM’s in linux where the

I tend to keep tabs on memory a few ways, I use a memory monitor that shows
me used in kde menu tray, and always run htop. I flushed everything and
rebooted a few days ago sending this, but it was green entirely to around
58gb of mem before I started forcibly having to kill things. Killing

Gnome doesn't use that much RAM at all -- on a system with lots of RAM and when
running Wayland, I've found that typically
I think maybe you're looking at this the wrong way -- what use is having a lot
of ram if it's not going to be used? This is how the kernel and some userspace
programs think about it.
When you look at memory usage, how much is actually in use vs cache? Cache is

MS does some weird stuff when it comes to memory and will try to push
content to a pagefile before the memory is needed.
As for your concerns Brave might be worth exploring. If I recall correctly
it is chrome/chromium with all the privacy turned on and then some.

I switched from Chrome (again) to Firefox about 6mo ago, for memory
reasons, and for their spyware sending everything I do through google.com.
Not sure firefox is really any better here at least as far as memory
consumption.
I run things like New Tab Suspender, noscript, ublock origin, etc, so I
One of the things I have seen is with browsers they have a flexible memory
footprint. As such they will look at availability of free ram and kind of
bloat to fit in order to cache more and provide a "better" browsing
experience.
There are some under the hood settings that may allow you to
