Does it bother you that Chrome eats so much RAM or do you consider this a just price to pay for fast performance and good stability?

Chrome uses up to 1.5GB of RAM when I browse the web but it's never been something I really cared about since my laptop has 6GB of RAM.
>>
>>51851829

I used to love Firefox but recently they started to add shit I didn't care about and the performance/RAM usage got way worse than it used to be.

I use Chrome even though I know Google steals my private information.
>>
Just download one tab, but desu I don't really mind, it's snappy
>>
It doesn't bother me because I use Firefox that has never gone above 500 MB of RAM with my normal browsing activity with the record being 850 when watching HD YT videos.
>>
chrome does not use incredible amounts of ram, just close all tabs and restart chrome to free ram

Jesus christ how many tabs are you running? How many extensions? I've got two windows with six tabs between the two - one of which is streaming audio- as well as a separate window for an extension and I'm only at ~900 MB of RAM.

Multiple 4chin tabs, a few youtube tabs, a bunch of wiki tabs, and an amazon tab. More than 20 tabs in total. I also have the ABP, youtube quality, and the click and clean extensions turned on too.

I could understand CPU usage bothering someone since that has a cost associated with it, such as increased power consumption, heat, noise, etc. However RAM doesn't have a cost like that, an ideally optimised system would potentially use 100% of your RAM all the time.

I don't think the videos and images is what's to blame. Image-heavy sites could be found back then and they were fairly managable given that a decent internet connection.

I think shitloads of JS is the main culprit, and I think that it's proof that we need to move on from HTML+CSS+JS to something better. Something that's *actually designed* to do the things that the web does instead of hacking a research paper platform into oblivion.

Even if you got rid of that, you are still left with ads. Now like 75% of a webpage is just ads. And when you use an ad blocker sites cry out in pain and either beg for money or block access to their sites until you disable your ad blocker.

More than that, there's really no reason why any machine with a Pentium 4 or PowerPC G4 or newer shouldn't be able to surf the modern web.

>I don't think the videos and images is what's to blame. Image-heavy sites could be found back then and they were fairly managable given that a decent internet connection.

Yeah, but websites were optimized for 800x600 back then, and used a 128x128 mosaic for background and tables or frames for layout.

Now they are optimized for 1080p while having stylesheets for four different responsive designs also loaded, and all the shit ton of grafixxx that make up of all those views, including full 1920x1080 background images because they are so pretty. That one background already uses over 6 megs of RAM when decoded for display, despite only being a 300kbyte jpeg.

And you have CSS doing transforms and building gradients and shadows on the fly, all of those need to be rendered into bitmaps and kept in memory for display as well.

Then you have tons of JavaScript manipulating HUGE portions of data and re-imagining the DOM on-the-fly, on top of all of that.

>I think that it's proof that we need to move on from HTML+CSS+JS to something better

Even if you disable JS, you'll still have websites taking up hundreds of MB of RAM, simply because of how powerful CSS has become.

And JS will not go away as long as websites are making their money out of tracking everything you do, down to where you move the mouse (look up mouse heat tracking).

I think the correct way to go would be changing HTML and CSS in a way so it can do more stuff that people use Javascript to do today, then build a site completely out of that, and then making some kind of hashtag banner about "this site proudly works without JavaScript", and hoping that it will go viral. That would also fuck up tracking a lot, and for sites you own you can still add your own server-side tracking.

Unfortunately building a modern site like that would be difficult as fuck, due to how many features we now expect for sites to have, which are impossible without JS. You can't do ajax calls without them for example...

Which is why linux has filesystem cache. Every time you load a file, it stores it in ram so the next time you load it it is super fast. It will also automatically get rid of cached files as it needs when a program allocates more ram.

My point was that you would lose all 300 tabs if you restart. What's even the point of having them open if you have to reopen them every time then don't even use them before the next shutdown?

Why dont browsers just throw away the 6mb decompressed image data when you tab away from it for more than 30 seconds? Uncompressing a 1080p jpeg is very fast, even on shitware computers, and the gain in free ram would be tremendous.

I'm neutral about them. But 4chan mods allow tripfags, 4chan in generally likes tripfags because you can now filter specific people you don't like (which is a bitch move).

Seems like 4chan might not be the best place to spend your free time if tripfags bother you this much. Either filter them or fuck off. Just don't sperg out like some morbidly obese autist. Sperging out won't make the tripfags go away you know.

What's your home board? Mine is /a/, where literally no one likes tripfags. /a/ tolerates them at best.
Plus, your entire post exudes the tumblr attitude of "If you don't like these new people showing up and shitposting just go somewhere else because this is a hugbox!"
The entire point of this website is anonymity. Tripfags don't understand that, so they need to be consistently shit on until they fuck off or stop using one. This is a very /a/ concept, but /a/ also doesn't have /g/'s problem of 90% of threads being terrible shitposting that shouldn't exist.

>Plus, your entire post exudes the tumblr attitude of "If you don't like these new people showing up and shitposting just go somewhere else because this is a hugbox!"
I'm not saying that. However leaving 4chan or finding a way to cope with existing tripfags are the only effective solutions against tripfags.

>The entire point of this website is anonymity. Tripfags don't understand that, so they need to be consistently shit on until they fuck off or stop using one. This is a very /a/ concept, but /a/ also doesn't have /g/'s problem of 90% of threads being terrible shitposting that shouldn't exist.
Anons shitpost too. The mods are in charge of baning shitposters, tripfags and anons alike. Also the point of this website is to share content without a forced public id. 4chan can still relay ip adresses you posted with if you do anything illegal here even if you don't use a tripcode. Freenet is designed for true anonymity not 4chan.

>By ignoring something you are implicitly allowing it. You don't just ignore a tumor, hoping it will go away.
That is only the cause if the tumour is on you. tripfagging cannot be described as a tumour because where someone "likes" it or not is subjective.

Anyway if you feel that strongly about banning tripfags then talk to the 4chin admins and present your case and bring them a solution to the massive lashback 4chan will have when they can't filter people anynore.

maybe chrome keeps some data in ram to quickly reopen or reload pages

>>51854943
Because Chromium is a mess. It almost never lets go of files once they're stored in the RAM, so restarting it alleviates that problem.

I have 32gig ram and 3 tabs of youtube opened. Ended up eating 12gigs worth. It even froze the computer.

It is a funky browser when it comes to stability and ram. It will run perfect but then suddenly go to shit.

I actually upgraded my Firefox to the early Windows 64bit version so that it could eat more RAM.

May as well utilize that memory when all I do is shitpost on 4chan all day.

Because then you'd have the browser lag a lot when you switch from tab to tab.

>And JS will not go away as long as websites are making their money out of tracking everything you do, down to where you move the mouse (look up mouse heat tracking).
>I think the correct way to go would be changing HTML and CSS in a way so it can do more stuff that people use Javascript to do today, then build a site completely out of that, and then making some kind of hashtag banner about "this site proudly works without JavaScript", and hoping that it will go viral. That would also fuck up tracking a lot, and for sites you own you can still add your own server-side tracking.
>Unfortunately building a modern site like that would be difficult as fuck, due to how many features we now expect for sites to have, which are impossible without JS. You can't do ajax calls without them for example...

Websites needs some sort of programming language, JS/Flash/whatever if you want the web to be something more than hyperlinked documents. Removing JS just means that something else has to pickup the slack and do the exact same thing.

The only built in feature of html that I can think of is form post, tags like <video> and <audio> are just javascript in disguise.

I hear lynx is the hip new browser for those who hate JS

and you shouldn't. it doesn't make any difference.

>>51851829
chrome doesn't use more ram that is reasonable you dumb cvcks, it loads common webpages into unused memory so you can access them faster. If you actually start using your ram chrome stops using as much. you retards are mad because the program is efficient.

I don't know how much this means it's actually using, but when I've got 24GB (will get back to 32GB eventually) available I don't really care. This is with about 70 tabs open, I sometimes get closer to 100.

What does bother me is it caching videos to the drive it is installed on and not deleting them without clearing my entire browsing history. At one point I had like 50-60GB wasted, now I go through the folder about once a month and free up a few gigs.

palemoon / icecat / or gugle other "firefox forks"

be sure to use chrome and google for that search just so they can die a little inside knowing you're only using it to download canine/feline browsers

yeah those bills, of 10 cents per gigabyte, even though my monthly usage goes around 50gb, i guess i could put 5usd on my flattr account and let it be donated among some sites

your simplistic answer suggests you're implying something,

ive had slave ancestors, now guess my rgb skin tone, nose width and length.

>>51857398
the other anon(s) might be lacking some elaboration or were too simplistic in their examples, but i guess they were refering to web teachnologies layering abstraction over abstraction, resulting in a complete mess.

say before canvas you could already do many complex animations with JS alone, but with 10x more processing than in a SWF, nowadays i dont really know

...or perhaps that anon might be refering to JS/ ECMA being a messy concatenation of many abstraction models being kept somewhat retro-compatible.

also i think it all started with firefox, from the 1.x versions it was already using more RAM than IE6 (or7 as well) possibly because it layered an extra processing of the cross-platform XUL for instance?

It really is, it does nothing bad. It's better than having the RAM not being used. Plus the computer can use it as it needs.
>>
>>51858199
This is precisely why I use Firefox. You can limit your cache size and set it so it uses your RAM as a cache.
>>
>>51859061
How is that even relevant? The cache writes to your hard drive. Even without a cache it would be using the same amount of RAM.
>>
>>51852168
this is nice board

>>51859833
But stupid little anon, there's also RAM cache. it's not the same as disk cache.
>>
>>51851829
Any unused RAM is wasted RAM.

TL;DR Chrome does per tab sandboxing and /g/ is perpetually stuck in 1995.

>>51853368
Still better than /pol/ which shows everyone what it's like when you let your kids be raised by their racist molester uncle.
