Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 weeks agomy 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.
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
