Firefox does this now too. Takes up so much RAM it often times closes our some of my ram intensive games
Feels like websites should start listing system requirements. Why can my laptop run songs of syx with 10,000 citizens but it can barely navigate news websites? Why does Steam take up more resources than a game? Everything that views web content is bloated except for things like Lynx.
It's either a browser that has all this shit just there that's slow as fuck. Or a browser that needs so much going on to block them all it's just as slow.
My old laptop took a shit, so I ended up getting a Chromebook because that's all I could afford. God dammit I fucking hate Google. This bloated piece of shit is slower than anything I've owned in the last 15 years. It can't handle Facefuck and YouSlop being open at the same time.
When I got my hands on one it disgusted me to see Google recommends throwing them in a landfill once they end support. I didn't know people were just throwing these away. I mean how many got saved by someone with the tech literacy? 5%? Less?
I buy refurbished lenovos and use them until they croak. Like $300-$500 a pop.
You can always install a new OS and never use chrome, should help a bit
My chromebook exclusively runs firefox on arch Linux btw. I play steam games on 8gb of ram too.
Not on all, but most. Sometimes you have to remove the battery to make the boot writable, then install something else, and reinstall the battery. Tricksy stuff.
Not on the arm versions
There are ways around that, makes it a bit more difficult though
Afaik you have to boot off an SD or USB, I wouldn't count that as installed. I unfortunately have one, it was free but it's a paperweight.
It's just Gentoo on the most boring profile https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-library/guides/device/install-software-on-base-images/ (not on "Googlebook"/"Aluminium" OS, that's Android)
Try running emerge firefox-bin, then firefox, go to extensions, get UBlock Origin and Decentraleyes, then see if Facefuck is any faster. Speaking of, why are you still on Facefuck? You are like the 1 human remaining there. Get off and it will be 0 for once.
I'm old and all my old-ass relatives are still using Fuckerberg's creeper app.
My heart goes out to all the corporate employees stuck using these pieces of shit.
I got moved to a team important and vocal enough to get thinkpads a year ago and it's a night and day difference.
Not anymore, my porn is in the cache
Oh now I get why you say so Spoilt brat
Good one
Using the RAM is far better than it sitting unused
