I left vivaldi very recently. not good at resource management, just under the resource usage that chrome does
opera has also become very intensive resource taking
brave is just qwerqy from my previous experience but I heard that its better. though lets see
Opera is resource intensive like chrome now
Brave can be resource intensive if you use some extensions, so for anyone with a potato PC that works with certain heavy programs, like a DAW for example, a second browser can be helpful.
So far I couldn’t find one besides Thorium. Thorium is decent but I heard it doesn’t get updated regularly and is made by one person so that could be a little dangerous.
VPN’s do block trackers but it is always a good idea to use a browser with a tracker blocker as well, and Firefox used to be good but honestly I think the general consensus is that Brave is much better in many ways.
My daily drive includes 160+ tabs. Is that okay with Aloha?
Huh, thanks for the information!
Pale Moon stinks, like a lynx.
The worst suggestion in this post sorry.
I’m not saying it’s a good browser, I use firefox and I hate Microsoft. It’s lightweight, do your research.
I tried Opera GX, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. The webpage loads a bit faster than other browsers, but it seems to use a lot of RAM and CPU due to some compatibility issues. I think this is because it’s not entirely compatible with the extensions I use.
For now, the browser that provides the best balance for me is still Microsoft Edge, but I know its security is lacking, and it isn’t a very robust browser. Essentially, it’s just Chrome with Microsoft extensions.
I would love to see a revamped version of Firefox that is lighter and compatible with all the extensions I need, along with an interface more like Edge.
Basically, it would be like a Frankenstein creation. Lmao.
It’s literally the best lightweight browser
yea ik I’m just messing with ya lol.
I’m also using Opera GX for regular surfing and watching since it’s faster but definitely avoids it whenever I open my bank accounts lol
Firefox is definitely one of my best browsers. Also Samsung Internet for speed unfortunately it doesn’t retain the read page whenever I close it unlike Opera GX.
Experience says otherwise.
One of the tabs has high usage. What are you doing on that tab?
The problem is not Edge here
I took a break from Opera GX for now i may give it another shot after the next update , overall is a cool browser , really fast and i like it but It’s way too unstable and full of bloatware. The limiters on CPU and RAM don’t work at all; I rechecked with Task Manager. I mean, the RAM limiter works, but it just closes and hibernates the tabs to do it, so when you open them back, you need to reload them. It’s a bit like closing them. I can do that myself. 
Instead i downloaded Vivaldi and so far i like it . it’s still based on chrome but more secure and stable like firefox , no bloatware at all and seems to give a lot of importance on respecting you privacy , all the extensions i use work well on it , there is also a double encryption password for your data . Really fast on opening webpages as well.
But in the end, for how crazy it can be, Microsoft Edge is top-notch in usability and performance. I don’t know why people criticize it so much. In idle mode, it’s the only browser I’ve tried that has close to zero CPU consumption, even when full of extensions. RAM usage is another story; it’s average and sometimes opens too many processes. The lightest on RAM is Vivaldi, but even in idle mode but not minimized, it uses about 1- 2 % of your CPU but need to check that better . When you minimize the window hibernate so 0% cpu. It’s also the fastest, along with Opera GX . We will see.
The only open tab was this reddit page. If you’re talking about the section with internet usage your guess is as good as mine
