I... I... I'm speechless.
My browser (falkon), uses ~130mb private memory, and ~160mb shared memory. WHERE is all the memory begin hogged? O.o
Quick test: opened up every webpage I could think of and now have 25+ tabs, several of which is playing video. Using 2.6gb of ram now.
Man, you really know how to work a browser :D
Wtf 🤣 how many tabs do you normally have open? 😅
2-3, but in the morning news reading routine I have 12 for a brief period that I close after consuming the content.
I never close them :P so maybe I should try that instead of just buying more RAM and opening yet another tab. You said use Falkon- is there anything remarkably good about this browser?
It's the continuation of the Qupzilla browser, uses the qtWebEngine so the rendering is on-par with Chrome, but it's privacy oriented. It is also very fast, but lacks debug tools :/
Do you know how it compares to Brave?
Yes. Brave is bazed on the netscape/mozilla engine, both are fairly speedy and brave tried to solve the ad problem by incentivizing people to pay, rather than just filter the ads.
It does both. I think their bat token is a bad idea though. People aren't incentivised to do it.
It does filter ads, even if you don't pay, but they don't see that as a sustainable solution. I agree BAT isn't cutting it, but BTC fees weren't compatible :)
Even if you used btc or bch, how do you incentivise users to pay?
That's a difficult problem. I think MoneyButton does a better job at it than Brave, as Brave focuse on publishers rather than users.
Agree. Though I think Moneybutton would be better if it could display a QR code as a fallback. It's burdensome to have an extra seed to store just to use MoneyButton.
Isn't it a bit like a 2nd layer similar to LN?
*correct*
it was "just a jab at LN"
And it's based on chromium, not Mozilla
... it is? Wow, did not expect that.
Then the only real difference between brave and falkon would be that falkon values your privacy and brave values content providers income as well.
Yes. I think Falkon does also support Wayland and Brave does not.
