steven36 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yes, I'm actually at the point of paying money to make Google Chrome more tolerable in terms of RAM usage and performance. And so far, it's working out well. I have a love/hate relationship with Google Chrome. On the one hand, I love it a lot. I love the broad ecosystem of extensions, and the compatibility across all the devices I use, regardless of operating system. It's less a browser and more a platform for all I do online. But I also hate it. It's a massive performance hog (and I'm an Adobe Creative Cloud user, so that's saying something). It devours RAM by the gigabyte, and can bring even the most robust of systems to its knees. I've done a lot to optimize the browser (and regular readers will know how much I've researched this topic), but I still manage to hit hard walls of limitations that get in the way of me getting my work done. So, I've finally given in and I'm doing the unthinkable. I'm paying to make Google Chrome faster and use less RAM. So, who am I paying? Google? No. I've taken out a subscription to Partizion. What is Partizion? Partizion is a plugin that allows me to condense down my myriad of tabs into workspaces (think home, work, plans, hobbies), and then further refine and distill that down to collections (so maybe email, social media, research, etc). The workspaces allow me to shift between what I'm working on quickly, while collections allow me to open and close a bundle of tabs with as little as a click. Another massive timesaving feature is that I can also choose to close all current tabs before opening a collection. The main Partizion workspace also gives me a listing of tabs that are currently open, allowing me to quickly and easily build workspaces and collections. It also keeps a list of tabs that have been closed through Partizion, so they can easily be reopened. I'll be honest and say that it took me a good day to get used to using Partizion and to break my old ways of opening heaps of tabs, leaving them open (partly because browser bookmarking is still a mess despite it being the 21 century), and wondering why things were slow. But once I broke that old habit, I found it very quick, easy, and intuitive to be shutting and opening tables using collections in various workspaces. I love how I can even set it to pin tabs when they open up -- a nice feature! Another feature I've grown to love is the advanced search, which means I no longer have to keep the tabs in my head as well as in my browser. Partizion isn't free, but it is cheap. Currently you can get a $4 a month subscription that's locked in against an upcoming price rise as soon as it comes out of beta. That seems like a good deal to me, especially since I'm seeing and experiencing the best Google Chrome performance and productivity boost since, well, since I shifted to Google Chrome.

steven36 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 If your interested in Partizion you can look at the gallery here Get a better Google Chrome experience with Partizion https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/get-a-better-google-chrome-experience-with-partizion/ I'm not i use Firefox and dont have this problem even when i open 20 tabs I use to have a problem when i used ABP in Firefox years ago before they ported UBO to Firefox but not any more. I have lots of experimental stuff enabled to make stuff work better for Linux too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylence Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just use Microsoft Edge that has the sleeping tabs feature: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-sleeping-tabs-experiment-improving-memory-usage-in/m-p/1705571/ also available in Edge 87 using a flag: edge://flags/#edge-sleeping-tabs you have to pay no ransom to nobody.

steven36 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 They dont want to use edge or they would use it. Quote Since Chrome is fast and is loaded with other Google services, many users choose to use this web browser. But according to some users, Chrome is slow after a few months of heavy usage. This may be related to the memory leak. All Microsoft did was bake in The Great Suspender that use to be a good extension but M$ flagged for being malware after they clone them. But it still 2 million users at Google Store Google don't flag it as malware.. https://www.windowscentral.com/great-suspender-extension-now-flagged-malware-edge-has-built-replacement Firefox has a extension too its called Sleep Mode i want use it its annoying having to wake up sites in my tabs https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-hibernate-inactive-tabs-in-firefox-with-sleep-mode/ If you scared the The Great Suspender is malware they also have Sleep Mode for Google Chrome instead. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sleep-mode/kekjbckkfbdknpcpcdpmlkbnleeddamg Chrome has bad memory leaks they tell you to disable flash , extensions blah , blah , blah . to fix it .If it wasn't something wrong with it you wouldn't need to hack the tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
