Gbatemp Obscenely High Ram Usage

[dudeguy2022]

The GBAtemp homepage regularly uses up to ~930 MB of RAM or even higher according to Chrome, why?

All I want to do is talk about hacking on my chromebook

recently I've been using GBAtemp with an adblocker, because that lowers the ram usage by ~200 MB of RAM. That helps a bit, but it still prevents me from running any other foreground apps.

Also, based on the type of people who use GBAtemp I wouldn't be surprised to find that some people are visiting from their ps3 or their 3ds which I'm sure you can imagine the experience on

I don't know why this website seems to be so unoptimized

Chrome eats RAM, pretty much all modern browsers these days do.

Upgrade your RAM sticks because most browsers consume them fast.

Stop using Chrome, simple move

according to Chrome,

Well there's your problem

Here's Firefox:

Home page: 93MB.

Even Microsoft Edge is better than that:

But can you change your browser on a Chromebook? I dunno if that can be improved.

Lol ok - I'll try to use the Firefox Android app on my Chromebook later and see if anything improves

So Chrome was the problem lol... Ram usage decreased pretty heavily on Firefox, but like Windows with Microsoft Edge, ChromeOS probably won't ever fully respect my browser of choice

Chrome has always been heavy on ram.. better stick with Firefox.. especially now that google was sued for allegedly tracking users that used incognito mode. They settled for $5b, I'm sure that's chump change compared to the amount of $$ they made with collecting/selling people's data.

Yup
I've actually been using Firefox already on all of my devices, but I didn't realize you could use the android version on your Chromebook

Chrome's reaction when it comes to GBAtemp:

If youre still going to use firefox (switching from chrome i mean), dont forget to close tabs youre not using. Dont be like us and have 93 tabs open, because just in case you need them

I'm shocked! SHOCKED! Well not really that shocked.
I really don't understand why people are still using Chrome, it's fucking trash and always has been

The temp is geared to only the most hardcore gamers, you should only browse this site if you have a sick rig with at least 64GB of DDR5 and a high-end RTX-capable GPU.

I feel sick knowing people are reading our content on some shit rig they dug out of a dumpster that can only chug along using Linux with the free wifi connection from the coffee shop across the road.

Shame on you people, get in line so I can ban you!

Hey, some of us only have like 26 for now so quit exagerating

On Chrome it is bad. I just recently switched to Firefox, and it is soo much better, for all sites! BTW- Everybody using Chrome- You can switch over and Firefox will import all your bookmarks, passwords, etc from Chrome. Easy peasy.
