> nobody measures such metrics: size, bloat, speed... Have you ever looked at the bloat of linkedin web? I've had tabs over 1GB memory use. Most bloated site I've ever used with any kind of regularity. > Not related to Libkedin, but what is the carbon footprint of all electron-based apps that take hundreds of megabytes and gigantic amount of processor time? I make an election app. It uses 70-80 mb of RAM when running. It's not that bad when you don't blow out your dependencies and code structure. |

I often have multiple tabs open since I revisit some sites.
Biggest culprits of memory bloat seem to be discord, linkedin and a specialist page that shows some maps.
Gmail (!) feels incredibly bloated now as well - it has random jumps in processor usage, especially when loading.
At the same time: firefox simply is uncompatibile with youtube - random freezes and lags. There are multiple therds about it on the intetnet. Some say that youtube is intentionally slowing down firefox.
I think nobody at firefox uses own browser so they dont know youtube runs bad with an ad blocker. Also probable reason is that they try to kill firefox by conforming to some web standard (just like conforming to .webm - when you save pictures from reddit they arent saved as .png, but as the crappy .webm - I guess someone at mozilla is working very hard to lose the last few users they have. And yes I am aware you can solve this with an addon. An addon that is not checked for viruses / spyware)
