Is the problem actually the lack of ram though? We used to browse the web just fine on megabytes of ram... Now I expect modern sites to take my resources, but 1000x more?
arguably the problem is the excessive use of the resource but that's kinda just the reality of it.
I'm not saying it's impossible to deal with it but it's no where near the point where I never have to think about it which is what I would consider truly "enough"
