STOP. DOING. UX.
Computers were meant to do math, not make pictures.
Trillions of pixels illuminated, but no real life benefit has been discovered.
GUI. Ray Tracing. Generative Adversarial Networks and Diffusion Models.
Terms dreamed up by the deranged.
They are playing you for fools!

Those things can have their place. But not on a restaurant website when I'm trying to order curry.
It's infuriating!
I just want static html webpages back. The sheer volume of scripts that run just to display text these days drives me nuts.
What if we just used math to make pictures? 🤔
This is the kind of picture a mathematician expects you to take seriously.

Agreed! Bring back usenet and keep the normies out. Judging by all the fascist uprisings, they weren't ready for it anyways.
lol, Committee for the Extermination of Eternal September.
The guys that went to the moon were engineers and highly trained to use the computer. We can dream to have users half as competent.
After separating from the Command Modupe for lunar descent, there was a faulty abort switch discovered on the Apollo 14 lunar module that required Alan Shephard and Edgar Mitchell to reprogram the lunar module computer in lunar orbit.
Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Apps like Chrome use available RAM if it's available, but they should be releasing it for other apps to use when there's high memory pressure.
It's the same with disk caching. If you have a lot of free RAM, the OS will use all of it for caching files.
my problem with certain programs, chrome included, is they tell the os "no, you can't have this ram back. i'm using it"
i understand the logic of your argument, but it's never played out in life
In some cases, the RAM actually is in use by the site. That's especially the case on sites with heavy client-side logic. In that case, it's not Chrome's (or Firefox's) fault, it's the website's fault. If you hover over the tab, it should show memory usage in the popover.
Chrome has a "Memory Saver" feature where it'll unload tabs that are offscreen/hidden which helps quite a bit. Not sure if Firefox has something similar.
Not sure if it's included in base firefox, but I use a extension that does exactly that
No, the reason why browsers use so much RAM is because every tab is it's own process and sandbox. That and lazy handling of content.
Edit: apparently i overestimated the overhead of process & sanbox per tab? So it's more lazy handling, i.e. keeping pictures in RAM instead of pushing them to cache?
Sandboxing does use some RAM, but it was a big win for security. One site can't crash the entire browser or use a security hole to get access to data on other tabs. Still, the majority of the RAM is taken by the site itself. The processes do share some RAM - they're not entirely isolated.
Back in 69 more people were carrying the load of logic in their heads. Its been a double edged sword of progress with more responsibilities offloaded to automation
Well how else is google gonna keep tabs on you.
Heh
My desktop with 64gb sat idling with a web browser open:
You got 32gb to play with chump
The NASA computers were among the most advanced computer science of their day. They were built by engineers with cutting edge technology. Chrome is a web browser, an absurd behemoth intended to view everything from a static page from twenty years ago to a dynamically assembled webapp using frameworks even the app's creator doesn't know one tenth of, but still has to import, and the whole thing is built to spy on what you do while you surf for cat pics and pussy pics for the ten trillionth time, feeding google's monopoly.
Not even apples to oranges. Apples to the lump formerly known as the planet Pluto.
so many reasons to ditch chrome and google altogether...

It's more impressive when you see this giant block of wires in person.
Isn't it great that we don't have to be so efficient anymore?
I blame WYSIWYG CMSs
People in 1969: What is a browser tab?
You know those paper folders? Yeah imagine that each flap is actually a screen.
You're welcome.
You can do math without a computer, it turns out.
Good thing they didn't need chrome to go to the moon.
