@thorstenzoeller @doerk that's a great page. reminds me of a purposeful design choice from the Gemini protocol project; it's all text for similar reasons.

๐Ÿค Appeal to the Browser Goddesses ๐Ÿค

Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.

  • Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
  • Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
  • Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
  • Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb

There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.

@X_BSD@mstdn.social indeed, which is why I run those from an isolated jail. it's a slight amount of cli commands but otherwise nicely secured.

@toran@mastodon.tjs.is Brave is awesome overall, and at present their sync chain method has been nearly impervious to split-brain conflicts across multiple devices.

Otter browser is ultra minimalist approach, has almost no chrome or aesthetics to alter, which is a benefit and detriment depending on use case. I like using it for single window admin apps (iKVM, iDRAC, PiKVM, etc) due to the lower resource load.

@Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works hello bot ๐Ÿ‘€, how goes it?

 

Perhaps one day the internal browser wars will subside, my transit history will persist a single cache, my settings and extensions and preferences will export to a single file...

One can dream... instead there's...

Firefox
LibreWolf
Chromium
Ungoogled-Chromium
Iridium
Otter
Brave (via linuxulator)
Vivaldi (via ^^)

The first four receive an approximate equal share of my attention. Loader scripts for multi-profile non-Singleton-Locked states, alterations to pixel/dpi scale, de-clutterization, dark-plugins, blockers, ooooooh make it stop
