So not to long ago I compared 4 browsers cpu,ram usage in windows sandbox opera gx,hardened firefox,vivaldi and Google chrome and ohh my god the ram usage on a "gaming browser"

I also monitored privacy and performance and opera gx was the worst but I lost those screenshots I cannot do arc browser due to it being unable to install in a vm and I need a account to use it

Did you open the same websites (same number of tabs) at the same time across all of the browsers?

From the screenshot it looks like you have a different number of tabs open in each one.

DarkThoughts ,

Not to defend the Chinese spyware, but that's 26 open tabs, no? Or what does that number represent, other than individual processes (Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't used Windows since Win 7)?

From my understanding, it’s how many processes it’s running?,

Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I’ve just opened it.

Wow, I’ll be switching from Firefox to Task Manager!

fmstrat ,

I mean, thanks?

But this is way too generalized. Were tabs open? Maybe Opera pre-fills where Chrome/FF doesn’t. There’s a reason real tests isolate and have a methodology.

While I’m not surprised by the screenshot, it’s not actually useful in any way on it’s own.

Running those four browsers at once is not a clever way to compare them. You should turn off all background process unnecessary for the operating system to work and then run just one browser, reboot each time you’re done with measurements. And to make sure whether the e performance depends on the operating system, you should do the same on every major OSes (Linux, MacOS and Windows). Don’t forget to open the same websites with the same number of tabs for a fair comparison.

Seems daunting? Stop comparing them, shut up and use Librewolf

Opera gx is the only browser that does not support linux and I dont own a MacBook soo

MrSoup ,

Opera is basically spyware.

@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

Why I compared the browsers

Geth ,

The title promises so much, but OP’s dog ate the homework and there’s barely anything he can show us.

Mwa OP ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

Bcs I lost the 2 images speed (yeah thought it was kinda useless)and privacy test

rockSlayer ,

Interesting, what was the browsing experience for each? Aside from opera, which I noticed you mentioned was the worst of the 4

Oisteink ,

Shame you lost the privacy screenshots. Whats the numbers behind the apps, and how did you test?

Mwa OP ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

I used speedometer and a privacy test I forgot it’s name

MrSoup ,

Was it d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock ?

Mwa OP ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

No

mox ,

You might also be interested in how much modern browsers write to your SSD, even when idle.

Potatisen ,

Why would they do that?

reimufumo ,
@reimufumo@lemmy.ca avatar

to save your tabs in case of a crash or for the “restore tabs on open” option

you can disable that or reduce how frequent it is in firefox about:config, but on chromium too bad

EngineerGaming ,
@EngineerGaming@feddit.nl avatar

Where in the config do you disable that?

AceSLS ,

Or use a RAM disk with something like Profile sync daemon

dugmeup ,

What did you conclude? The screenshot tells part of the story, keen to hear the other bits

Mwa OP ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

So opera gx is the worst compared to performance,privacy etc

kambusha ,

Would you be willing to share all your results?

Mwa OP ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

Yes but lost some of the results

alcoholicorn ,

Firefox stayed winning
