    If that were the entire truth, neither brave nor opera would be as popular as they are.

      In my assessment, all browsers suck badly at performance and resource usage at the moment.

      How does a 25mb website content result in 350mb of ram usage for that tab? And why would it not render basically instantly.

      I am old enough to remember in the early 2000s, when page loads were near instant. Even for large e-commerce and social media websites.

          Its not so much the JavaScript, its the layers and layers of JavaScript libraries that are never optimized or trimmed for purpose.
