this; every time the ublock origin absolutists insist that everyone must use Firefox or die I just wonder if they never open more than one or two tabs anyway. hell, a sufficiently complex web app running in a single tab can make FF choke
You got it wrong actually. Firefox is not really actively using all the ram. It’s more like reserving it. The system does that too. When the actual used RAM gets low, Firefox releases some of this unused RAM.

Both you and @SaltyIceteaMaker are completely wrong. There is no such thing as “reserving” memory.

I mean I run ubo and firefox. And have hundreds of tabs open. On any system, it lags so I know the struggle.
