Master Foo, watching a student try to debug a slow #Linux desktop system, offered, "The htop command reveals much. Mostly, that Firefox is still eating all your RAM. The universe, too, has its hungry daemons."
@nixCraft I have retired #Firefox from my workflow. I am now on #Vivaldi.
@nixCraft Blame it on the complexity of web site downloads as a complete "app" vs what you need to just view a page. Factor in if you have many tabs open, you take a guess why ANY BROWSER takes so much memory.
