    Imagine how far you can go on 8GB of RAM if every piece of software were still well optimized and free of bloat.

      Recently I downloaded Chrome for some testing that I wanted to let separate from my Firefox browser. After a while I realized my computer was always getting hot every time I opened chrome. I took a look at the system monitor: chrome was using 30% of of my CPU power to play a single YouTube video in the background. What the fuck? I ended up switching the testing environment over the libreWolf and CPU load went down to only 10%.

        I’d say to try chromium, but you basically need to compile it yourself to get support for all the video codecs.
