@mischievoustomato @dushman @kvuzet @UkeBLCatboy i think so too, but the issue is it uses so much memory and i think it tries to give itself a higher priority? i forget? and one thing linux absolutely sucks at is memory management tbh, if it gets too high pressure, which it often does to itself with caches, a lot of other starts freezing up or having issues or running slowly or gets oom killed when it really doesn't need to be. i mean i find myself having to use /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches on a fairly regularly basis to get back performance on my main machine, and this was far more excasterbated an issue when i ran a chromium browser (both ungoogled and qutebrowser) because it just put on so much pressure
palemoon especially how i have it configured uses relatively little memory so its cozy
about:performance says it uses 1,9gigs rn, 42 tabs, including a heavy webapp and two long loaded videos on invidious, 14 addons
if i run with few performance addons, good memory tweaks, and dont have any media/js heavy sites in use i've been able to browse with it usings as little as 170megs at one point for a few tabs ( i found one screenshot with 167 megs on palemoon but it would dox me lol)
