It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

My experience has been the opposite. I will have far too many tabs and windows open and with Chrome I would often see memory usage over 10gb. And on more than one occasion I'd have to end task on chrome as it was locking or already locked up.

Switched [back] to Firefox in the last year or two, same plugins, no change in behavior, and it never locks up. Memory usage is fine. Right now with just as many windows and tabs open it's using 5gb ram.

Chrome has been uninstalled from my PC.

And the tab containers plugin from Mozilla is really incredible.

I like the idea of tab isolation, but I don't want to be forced to use it for every tab group. I want to use tab groups to organize my tabs because I have way too many of them open at the same time. I often create tab groups on the fly just to keep things organized. I don't want to login into every account once I decide I need a new tab group.

I agree the tab containers are pretty specific use cases. It's invaluable for AWS. If I still used Facebook it would be great to keep that isolated from all the other sites that share data with it. I like to use it for banking which is done very specifically. Otherwise yeah everything remains in the non-container tab.

And I was not saying the containers relate to memory usage.
