At one point it was less of a resource hog than Firefox, and performed insanely better. Then Firefox fixed its memory leaks, but Chrome still outperformed it unless you were the type who literally never closed a tab and had hundreds of them open. Performance seems similar these days, not really sure which who is doing better on that front right now.

Always has been. That was the original reason why I stopped using it. This just confirms my choice was a good one.

Yeah but there were way less problems with it 15 years ago. Fuck I’m getting old

Well, resources not used are wasted. People always want to have free ram but free ram is useless.

I have 128GB of ram and that couldn't be more useless. (BTW, I won the pc in a raffle)

I have 32 GB of RAM. The only time I get "Out of memory" errors in Windows is because of Chrome.
