Sorry, the only solution is the web aborting JavaScript. never going to happen. trust me, i stand with richard stallman when it comes to javascript.
Disagreed, memory Limiting definitely helps with over-consumption. Can't consume all the RAM when you only have access to 8GB of it.
What's his stance on javascript? Banned totally on the web?
he doesn't want it banned, but he wants it open, like libreJS
Ah ok, totally fair IMO. Locked down languages just suck after their counterparts have moved forward (like c# or java).
I mean, it depends on the type of person you are i guess. are you writing code for work? Or is it for yourself? I myself feel like i want to walk down the path richard walks down, and dump all this crap we use and run, and go 100% libre. It's not like i have any friends and don't really communicate with the outside world much other than in person with family or on places like lemmy.
Hey, you do you, and chose the best language for you (and why did you chose C/C++ ? It's so hard but powerful!) jk.
Programming is great if you like that, I do, but you also need friends and stuff so don't forget to touch grass from time to time! In the meantime we're here on Lemmy :-)
Cheers
yeah, I don't know i havent made my mind up yet.

I honestly dont care about my browser using a lot of resources (processes, RAM, etc) because it may be helpful to the isolation security model of the browser. Each and every website is a possible malicious app.
One could also use w3m or links. All the RAM-hungry things (such as CSS3, JavaScript APIs and heavy multimedia files) will be finally gone for good.
But all the ads will come back, so it's a wash
Considering that the vast majority of the modern ads are videos or images, they won't show up in such text-browser environments. Also, they depend on JavaScript, which isn't available through such text-browser environments.
I still think the catgirl paws salute should be the new salute of the American Résistance.
I also think the catgirl paws salute should be recognized as a salute.
What is the acceptable amount of ram a browser should be using? Is there a way of knowing how much is “wasted”? Is it even possible to waste ram, like what is wasted, time? Electricity?
It's only a problem if it doesn't give it up when other apps need it and there's not enough. Browsers just cache a bunch of shit in memory for speed and convenience, but they should unallocate it back to the pool if something else calls for it. The internet complaining about this for years and years are mostly doing so from a place of ignorance.
The issue is that browsers don't release much memory back to the system when it's needed. I wish they'd work more like the Linux kernel's VFS caching later, but they don't (and might not be able to. For example, I do don't think the Linux kernel has good APIs for such a use case).

Its being wasted if a memory leak causes it to use all 32 gigs of ram and crash
Even if it doesn't eat that much if it latches on to a portion of Memory and won't give it up unless killed that's still bad, and would be considered wasted as nothing else can use it for anything.
