Yep, definitely -30% RAM used here

How many extensions are you using lol or what sites?

Never seen FF that high even with like 20 tabs

@lotd 3 max (page speed, adblocker, ghostery)

:/

Nah actually that picture is wrong as I was working on our website which is very RAM hungry (too much JS and bloated CSS)

Was wondering why the computer was slow and saw that FF was hungrier than Chrome

Same here. I opened the same 3 tabs (Reddit, GDAX, YouTube) in both FF and Chrome. My Chrome has more extensions then FF.

Both Firefox and Chrome are RAM eaters. I fucking hate Firefox and Chrome.

@Aeon what do you use?

@Aeon just being curious, which browser are you using?

Edit : @stazc lol

I currently use Internet Explorer 11. It doesn't freeze or crash or hog all of my RAM like the other browsers do. I refuse to use Microsoft Edge.

I know IE 11 is old and doesn't support much of the new stuff, but it gives me a better overall browsing experience. Especially compared with Chromium-based browsers.

@Aeon I hope it is sarcasm...

I've never seen that in Quantum. When I have 30+ tabs, Chrome always slows down and eats 2GB of ram while Firefox is under 1GB.

@Kizzaris I didn't Photoshop that image hahaha

Bah well, as I said, I went on a very hungry website that made FF crawl :(

@SoulSkrix Opera is on Chromium, and Vivaldi too

Just for those interested, here are the results for IE 11 (no extensions obvs) and Edge 41 with Adblock plus, Ghostery and Translate extensions on. The extension taking 225mb of ram is Ghostery.

@Telescuffle I found both uBlock and Ghostery to be buggy in Edge. Part of the reason why I don't use it anymore.

@tahnik Ghostery used to be quite buggy, but seems more stable now. On the other hand, grammerly can't even be switched on without crashing...

The problem with your FF could be 7 processes. Every process uses like 100MB of memory itself + website loaded. And you dont really need 7 processes, trust me...

I used FF quantum for hearing music (deezer) it was eating 1.5 gb changed to chrome its eating 0.76 gb and I have other tabs open in chrome..

@lamka02sk Chrome is using 17...

Well, I hate to admit but Quantum seems to eat more RAM than Chrome.

Firefox just has 4 tabs open. (Facebook login page, aws login page, YouTube page, Google home page)
