I wanted to support Firefox as well, and would still prefer to do nothing related to my job on a browser that may be sharing it all because some some click-through EULA gave it permission.

But I can't use it anymore, because it swaps.

My work laptop has only 8GB, soldered. One day I was shocked to find the NVME had only 50% useful life left. Digging further, FF memory demand was causing paging, on a drive that was so fast I wasn't really bothered by it. Who knows how long that had gone on....

Edge doesn't appear to do this.
