@@arthemis1039 I compared Chrome Firefox Vivaldi and edge. Vivaldi used the least amount of ram while Firefox the most. Basicly I opened several tabs on each browser that I use often. Firefox also preloads more of a video into ram any idea how to lower that? Didn t find it in the settings

Its light on resources, extensions work reliably (idk whats up with lastpass in chromium or uwp edge) and its genuinely interested in your privacy. Tbh I fucking hate people that seem to think its fine if their webapp doesn't work on Firefox. Fuck you for making me use the standard chromium that ships with windows: edge!
@@lwgl_xyz that's why Microsoft chooses Chromium for their web browser. It's just because... The compatibility. This problem caused the old Edge to dead.
Especially the UA-cam video ripping tools are great and can otherwise only run on Chrome if you don't get it from their platform (wonder why). Firefox was pretty terrible a few years ago. For me there were no problems when I used low end hardware but I had multiple problems with video playback once I built a desktop with a 1080Ti. Now I'm experiencing no problems at all though. And I am a giant tab hoarder so the only moment I went past 10GB of RAM usage was when running Chrome. The great suspender is a good plugin for Chrome that limits RAM usage but that also makes it load inactive web pages which defeats the point of using Chrome in Favour of Firefox.
Dont forget for the pc version you need a extension that stops it actively loading all the extra tabs on startup. Considering I’m a avid fanfiction net reader as well as spacebattles/sufficient velocity reader I typically get a massive tab list.
Talha Vawda im english and i’ve never heard it like that before. the way he said it was like the word ‘integral’ where something is an important (or integral) part of something. we say integrals not like that
By the time you fill up your RAM, you will have opened an unusable amount of tabs. With 16gb of RAM, you're good for 30 youtube tabs plus whatever game you're playing. And I think that's more than enough.
So, now I understand why when I watch a youtube video the page stops responding and I have to wait. I checked Task Manager to see why and found that there were 19 chrome icons eating up all of my memory and cpu. When I switched to Firefox, the videos played without error.
2:46 Would those "other programs" include Windows 10? Running the OS with 4GB of memory goes about as well as running Windows 7 with less than half of that.
@@АлексейГриднев-и7р mint 18.1 uses that much RAM too, perfect for my tower with only 1GB of ddr2 800MHz cl6 memory, a 40 GB hitachi sata 2 HDD, a 1GB OEM AMD radeon HD 6450 and a AMD phenom ii x2 550 @3.1 GHz
Install the google chrome extension called the great suspender. It suspends tabs you havent been in after about 10 minutes. This dramatically lowers cpu and memory problems.
I never understood how cpu gets used up in non-active tabs to begin with. Phones have been around for ages now and they solved this problem years ago. Desktop browsers are so far behind the times.
"The idea that if one page crashes, it doesn't affect the other pages". I must have missed that update cuz that shit don't work bro. If one page goes down usually all instances of chrome go white with "chrome is not responding" and you need to nuke the whole thing.
Also its a data mining and abusive piece of software by the data guzzlers over at Google. I can't express my frustration from how many times I've told Chrome to stop accessing the Software Reporter Tool that was hammering my 4700MQ to almost 100% (Look up Software Reporter Tool, bunch of people having the same problem) , making my laptop sound like a jet engine, and it just continued to do so after updates because it rewrites the read and write properties I changed on the file. Not to mention that it used to lag my phones when leaving it in the background. What a terrible piece of software. If you must use chrome, at least use Chromium or Edge's new beta. All my headaches went away, my computer is happy and I'm a happy camper now.
@@SomsoKca AFAIK asking an individual about ram usage is irrelevant, because it depends on the amount of available memory. On my PC, Firefox now uses about 5 GB of memory, and it's OK, because I have enough memory in my PC. On a system with less available memory, the browser would unload some tabs from memory, which would result in less memory usage and reloading tabs more often.
@@Max-42 Video editing. 32GB is MINIMUM for 4k editing according to adobe. 64GBs is when you can afford to not have adobe premier crash every 5 minutes with 4K video. It's worse when 3D rendering comes into effect. Your looking at 128GBs+. Content creation eats up ram.
As much as I want to blame Chrome, why are we still selling computers with 4GB of RAM, that was the standard 15 years ago. It doesn’t cost much these days to put 16GB or 32GB of RAM on a regular computer. Manufacturers love to cheap out on the RAM not because it’s pricier but because they know if they want to sell their $2000 premium laptop they need to make sure their entry level offering is slow enough that you can notice. Most users can’t tell the difference between 32GB and 64GB of RAM but they can definitely tell the difference between 4GB and 8GB or 8GB and 16GB.
"Download more ram", this will keep being a joke until the far off Star Trek Discovery future where we will have "programmable matter" and we will finally be able to "download more ram". 😂
@@AvroBellow What are you talking about? Chrome is among the fastest on the market, supports just about everything and has top notch google integration. Please name a browser that makes chrome look like IE
While not the one he mentioned, I use one extension called The Great Suspender, which basically hibernates tabs and stops them from consuming memory after a user set time, while keeping them as tabs. Did wonders for me on a 1GB laptop. I believe he's talking about OneTab, however I feel that's much sluggish as you have to click the extension first to see all your links.
how have i never noticed chrome task manager before? i just saved myself 4 gb of ram by ending tasks of tabs that i had recently opened but didnt even have opened anymore. Awesome tip.
I use an extension that completely suspends tabs if they become idle in the background. It's called the great suspender and makes it easy to have lots of tabs open at the same time.
Chrome is extremely overrated. I've been using Firefox as my primary browser ever since they first called it "Firefox" - version 0.8, back in 2004. I've tried using Chrome, but it just wasn't as good, in my opinion. At work, we used to have a Citrix server that my boss used as his primary desktop. Something got REALLY effed up in Chrome, and EVERY page crashed - INCLUDING the Settings page. And no matter of uninstalling/reinstalling it, deleting the user profile and setting up a new one, etc., would fix it (and it was a shared desktop so we couldn't just start anew). The solution? Use Firefox. :P The funny thing is how Chrome came into existence to combat the browser monopoly that was Internet Explorer 6.0. With Microsoft controlling the market, security holes big enough to sail a cruise ship through, and web designers making websites specifically to work in IE don't care about the others, people started to use other browsers. It's funnny how people get paranoid about things - I had customers at my old job that refused to register their rewards card (points accumulate but can't be used until registered), simply because they don't want Big Brother spying on them. Yet the #1 internet browser in the world today is a closed-source piece of software made by a for-profit corporation that literally built its empire and profits of its internet search engine. Firefox is made by a non-profit organization with no vested interest in your personal search history or browsing habits. They don't *literally sell advertisements* like Google does. And many websites are designed to run in Chrome, but won't run in Firefox or other browsers. When you set out to change something, but then become the very thing you set out to change...
Chrome wins like every performance comparison, and in many cases it actually uses less RAM (depending on your computer, number of tabs, etc. - see the article at the bottom). It also has a lot of extensions that Firefox doesn't, which is the only reason I personally prefer it. And while many users may have seen Chrome's introduction as a way to combat the monopoly, Google just saw it as a way to make money. They didn't "set out to change" anything other than their profits. That's what every large company does, including Firefox. They're just appealing to a different market (the paranoid one, as you suggested) since they would be irrelevant if they didn't. That isn't to say a company's practices can't be good, regardless of their intentions, but it is funny that people here are professing their fears of Chrome's privacy practices from a logged-in UA-cam (Google) account. Seems like an arbitrary line to draw. www.businessinsider.com/google-chrome-vs-firefox-performance-memory-2018-7
"And many websited are designed to run in Chrome, but won't run in Firefox or other browsers." And there's why I use Chrome. I'm not here to make a statement or prevent monopolies. I'm here to use various websites. Some of those websites depend upon Chrome's features. But it has been a while since I've looked into trying to use Firefox again. Perhaps it's finally picked up the functionality those websites require. I'll have another look sometime.
Its not just chromes fault. I am a front end developer, and i fixed a lot of java script bullshitery that causes wbesite to load slow and not so well on old computers. The main problem is broken javascript code and unoptimised pictures on web....Sadly now everyone is a web dev but has 0 experience at optimisations.
It takes a lot of resources to package and send all of a user's data to the NSA. Chrome's hit on my RAM and CPU always goes up whenever I type "Liberty" or Constitution" in to it. They go off the chart when I type "Khazarian."

Especially the UA-cam video ripping tools are great and can otherwise only run on Chrome if you don't get it from their platform (wonder why). Firefox was pretty terrible a few years ago. For me there were no problems when I used low end hardware but I had multiple problems with video playback once I built a desktop with a 1080Ti. Now I'm experiencing no problems at all though. And I am a giant tab hoarder so the only moment I went past 10GB of RAM usage was when running Chrome. The great suspender is a good plugin for Chrome that limits RAM usage but that also makes it load inactive web pages which defeats the point of using Chrome in Favour of Firefox.

Also its a data mining and abusive piece of software by the data guzzlers over at Google. I can't express my frustration from how many times I've told Chrome to stop accessing the Software Reporter Tool that was hammering my 4700MQ to almost 100% (Look up Software Reporter Tool, bunch of people having the same problem) , making my laptop sound like a jet engine, and it just continued to do so after updates because it rewrites the read and write properties I changed on the file. Not to mention that it used to lag my phones when leaving it in the background. What a terrible piece of software.
If you must use chrome, at least use Chromium or Edge's new beta. All my headaches went away, my computer is happy and I'm a happy camper now.

@@SomsoKca 50 YT Videos open and 6GB, seems fair
@@SomsoKca AFAIK asking an individual about ram usage is irrelevant, because it depends on the amount of available memory. On my PC, Firefox now uses about 5 GB of memory, and it's OK, because I have enough memory in my PC. On a system with less available memory, the browser would unload some tabs from memory, which would result in less memory usage and reloading tabs more often.

As much as I want to blame Chrome, why are we still selling computers with 4GB of RAM, that was the standard 15 years ago. It doesn’t cost much these days to put 16GB or 32GB of RAM on a regular computer. Manufacturers love to cheap out on the RAM not because it’s pricier but because they know if they want to sell their $2000 premium laptop they need to make sure their entry level offering is slow enough that you can notice. Most users can’t tell the difference between 32GB and 64GB of RAM but they can definitely tell the difference between 4GB and 8GB or 8GB and 16GB.

Chrome is extremely overrated. I've been using Firefox as my primary browser ever since they first called it "Firefox" - version 0.8, back in 2004. I've tried using Chrome, but it just wasn't as good, in my opinion.
At work, we used to have a Citrix server that my boss used as his primary desktop. Something got REALLY effed up in Chrome, and EVERY page crashed - INCLUDING the Settings page. And no matter of uninstalling/reinstalling it, deleting the user profile and setting up a new one, etc., would fix it (and it was a shared desktop so we couldn't just start anew). The solution? Use Firefox. :P
The funny thing is how Chrome came into existence to combat the browser monopoly that was Internet Explorer 6.0. With Microsoft controlling the market, security holes big enough to sail a cruise ship through, and web designers making websites specifically to work in IE don't care about the others, people started to use other browsers.
It's funnny how people get paranoid about things - I had customers at my old job that refused to register their rewards card (points accumulate but can't be used until registered), simply because they don't want Big Brother spying on them. Yet the #1 internet browser in the world today is a closed-source piece of software made by a for-profit corporation that literally built its empire and profits of its internet search engine. Firefox is made by a non-profit organization with no vested interest in your personal search history or browsing habits. They don't *literally sell advertisements* like Google does. And many websites are designed to run in Chrome, but won't run in Firefox or other browsers.
When you set out to change something, but then become the very thing you set out to change...
Firefox is using just as much ram
@@300ml_brasil does it matter?
Chrome wins like every performance comparison, and in many cases it actually uses less RAM (depending on your computer, number of tabs, etc. - see the article at the bottom). It also has a lot of extensions that Firefox doesn't, which is the only reason I personally prefer it. And while many users may have seen Chrome's introduction as a way to combat the monopoly, Google just saw it as a way to make money. They didn't "set out to change" anything other than their profits. That's what every large company does, including Firefox. They're just appealing to a different market (the paranoid one, as you suggested) since they would be irrelevant if they didn't. That isn't to say a company's practices can't be good, regardless of their intentions, but it is funny that people here are professing their fears of Chrome's privacy practices from a logged-in UA-cam (Google) account. Seems like an arbitrary line to draw.
