Chromium memory usage

@StuartJordan said in Chromium memory usage:
I keep hearing Brave mentioned by a few people. I have all my passwords and sites synced on all my devices and not looking to change browsers.
You can easily migrate that between browsers, most will offer to import all that info on first launch.
Browser is not the right tool to keep your passwords in. Especially one made by Google. Remember, when product is free, you are the product.
Password managers are the right approach here, Bitwarden would be my choice, although I currently use 1Password. Whenever I get some time, I'm planning to deploy my own Bitwarden server.

Here is all the browsers I have, each with 30 ML homepage tabs open, not signed in.
Edge Chromium has Lastpass and ublock extensions installed, so that's running for each page, as well as me being signed in with sync and all that. (my main browser)
FireFox only has Lastpass installed.
IE, Edge, and Google Chrome have no extensions installed.
That may make all the difference, I did not test Edge or FF without any extensions.

@Grey thank you for your input lol
on a serious note I like chrome. I use it on my phone as well.
I moved to using the new Edge. 10 tabs, .8gb ram used, and when I close all the windows, it's not leaving 15 more processes open like Chrome.

@Obsolesce Thanks for posting that that's quite interesting comparison
-
Checking Firefox real quick like. It hasn't been shut down in several days, and I have 15 tabs open. 2 Gmail, one steam page, ML, NextCloud, NextCloud+OnlyOffice tab with a small document open, a second NC + Only Office Tab with a small document open, Netflix, TubiTV, Facebook, Villagers and Heroes Wiki, and O365 with my work email open.
Using ~3.5GB ram.

I actually like edge. I used the old one, too. Also, I like powershell. I've managed to get away from using all other browsers except in select situations where java is required.

Lynx, 1 tab open :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Ummm.... Edge, like Brave and Chrome, is "just another Chromium browser."

@ Work 1.4GB with 14 tabs.

Root is the only user on that server, no need for any additional accounts.
