I'm starting to think I'm going to have to give up on Firefox. my baseline ~35 tabs spread across multiple windows routinely eats 6+GB of memory, and even after going from 16->32GB of RAM, I'm still getting all sorts of UI lag and general unhappiness. I suspect at least part of it is Atlassian's fault (they are likely not testing with Firefox and their stuff is bloated), but given I already have to keep Chrome around for stuff that straight up doesn't work on Firefox, I'm looking at options 1/n
I know I'm not going back to Chrome, but I don't have anything against Chromium-based stuff - I need my browser to *work* and otherwise stay out of my way, thus the crusade against monoculture in browsers isn't a primary concern. So as much as I hate to even ask, is Edge the least worst option right now since it's not encumbered with Google's new spyware or intentionally breaking ublock Origin & friends?
Brave is a no-op for plenty of reasons. Opera sounds similarly sketchy.
Vivaldi? 2/2
Minor update here: as a test, I swapped my atlassian stuff back to chrome while leaving everything else on Firefox. Despite running two browsers, my net memory use has gone down by a couple of gigs, and a number of the UI glitches in Jira and general browser lagginess I was having in Firefox is gone. Sorta confirms my suspicion that Atlassian is doing something Chrome optimized and not testing with Firefox very well.
