    I don’t believe it’s only chrome’s problem. I’ve noticed that firefox tends to lock all available memory to himself and whenever I need it, bastard just reallocates it into swap, making whole system laggy and slow.

    So… I’ve got my foxy friend into a Ram jail for being too hungry:
    systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=1G --user firefox

    God, I love linux!

      Almost like its the websites that are wildly bloated and resource hungry and the browsers are just trying to display them as best they can

      I have never thought of this before, making a note. Because yeah, my FF has the same nast habit. Often using up 4+, 6+ or even more RAM.

      I use FF on Manjaro and have never noticed a ram problem. I’ve also got it set up on a different virtual linux machine with only 2 gigs of memory and it works fine.
