   Firefox uses 500MB RAM opening a site.
   300MB RAM just opening firefox with blank page.
   
   Iridium (chrome based) uses 67mb RAM when opening the same site.
   And 44mb RAM when opening a blank page.

     @johnnynull You sound like a guy I work with. He has crazy amount of tabs open always.

     @marsxyz Yes, good point. I suspect it'll be better there.

     @vegos Could also be addons. but I do not have any addons I want to be without, so it's still high. Been thinking about moving away from firefox for a long time, so now seems to be the time to do so.

     @marsxyz I did have that version. I do not want google's tentacles on my computer either, which is why I chose iridium - https://iridiumbrowser.de/index.html#about

     @lnxw48a1 indeed, it does thread it. 
     I notice the ram usage is high on that too. I guess it's hard to get around that on modern browsers then. 
     Even though it's also using a fair bit of ram with pages loaded - it's low on startup, not that that helps. But - one point  that I feel is important for me at least - is that firefox feels sluggish on all my machines, chromium based browsers often feels more snappier, it feels faster when navigating around \ typing \ scrolling - etc. (I guess there are some stresstests online that one car run to prove it).
