No one will use AI products if there won't be consumer products because of RAM shortage.

  The plan is to make us all use shitty hardware like a chromebook and rent compute from the cloud for anything heavier than a web browser.

    The way Chrome feasts on RAM, might need the cloud for that too.

    Honestly, FF became similar worse: On my 16 GB machine, when surfing some hours FF has allocated around 10-11 GB and for whatever reason it does not free them, unless I exit and restart it

    I do not get why this gets so many downvotes:
    - the described behaviour is the one I experience on my Win10 notebook (Lenovo X1)
    - Firefox wasnt always that, thats what Im refering to
    - I can see in ProcessExplorer how many threads it starts & keeps, and for whatever reason this is always a lot, even if I open only 1 tab after coming from new start
