A big battle on Lemmy about why I prefer Chrome/ium instead of Firefox on the old laptops I rescue from the landfills: https://lemmy.ml/post/24202956/15809331

People need to stop thinking with GNU glasses on, and become more objective. The reality is, Chrome is FASTER and uses less RAM than Firefox. This has a HUGE IMPACT on the desktop experience on OLD Pcs (not on your modern PCs, no).
But noooo... we have to support Firefox no matter what. Cultists.

@eugenialoli last i looked into it, chrome used a ton of RAM and firefox used less, and this becomes more pronounced when you open more tabs. has it flipped?

@trwnh In the laptops I install Linux for people with 2 or 4 GB of ram they only open 1-3 tabs, and in these situations, Chrome uses less.
