Browsers are hungry for memory too

October 16th, 2009

I think over the past few years, my internet browsing experience has steadily decreased.

From Firefox leaking memory like a sieve to Safari officially eating more memory than Eclipse on a consistent basis.

Safari vs. Eclipse

Memory, it’s what’s for dinner.

    I would say try chrome, but I think it's not yet available for the Mac. On windows it's IMHO the fastest and leanest browser.

    Another tip: try disabling flash completely. It's a memory hog. I've disabled flash in all but one of my browser config's.

    Luckily, memory is cheap. Get a 64bit chip, and load it up to 8GB and you'll be happy again. ;-)
  • I think that's the best solution given that I have little confidence developers will start writing memory-lean code :)

    Let's see... when is Apple releasing that new Macbook Pro...
