Wow. 50 MB. For reference, I have a (severely restrained, no javascript [1]) Firefox running. Just one tab open, showing just one jpeg from XKCD [2]). Top shows it as the (by far hungriest) memory user, with 263 MB. Second, third and fourth are... WebContent, WebExtensions and WebContent, which are Firefox too, just in disguise. Adding those four together towers up to roughly half a gigabyte. Even assuming that half of that is shared libs... Oh, fifth is Emacs, with roughly 63 MB. But it has a 500K Org mode file in its belly (so it's doing something useful). How did we end here? How did we end up paying for the ad industry's infrastrutcture, paying with our privacy, but also with our real money, having to buy RAM and CPU power just for their sake? How do we get out of here?
