Which web browser to choose in 2026

Thanks for the updates. I might stick with Firefox ESR (version 140.11.0) for the time being until this is sorted out.

Hmmm. I'm running the latest Firefox 152.0.1 on Arch Linux and I see 0.3% CPU and 0.0% memory used. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds great, I'm going to try that one myself.

How many tabs do you have open and how many addons running?

That's always the test.

^ On Trixie GNOME, firefox and a terminal open, htop... 2.01G.

What tabs to open? Screw it, I have very little shame left in me, and this is quite innocent...

So, open 20 tabs of swimsuit shots and htop says RAM is at...

Sorry, I only made it to 4.

2.36 jigawatts! Why is lip filler such a big thing in the future? Is gravity somehow affected?

I probably had two tabs open, two add-ons, and two extensions. But the posts I was responding to were saying they didn't have many tabs open, too.

How many do you want me to have open? I'm the type who closes most tabs when I'm finished with them. I probably never have more than, say, 5 open at once.

The high memory footprint could be caused by the images opened in your browser. Usually, picture of a hottie takes way more memory.

I'm the same as you, I close tabs when done. I don't see the point of leaving tabs open perpetually. That's what bookmarks exist for.
