Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.
Firefox isn’t going to solve the issue of overly bloated websites.
It still has ManifestV2 and useful ad-blocking
can help
That seems like a fake website. Here is the real link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
This website is maintained by Uros Gazvoda, founder of Futuristica, to help spread uBlock Origin - free, open-source ad blocker.
Not fake, just unaffiliated. The presented links and info seem correct to me.
ubo is also warning about a different fake page on their repo but not this one.
May as well chop the “s” off “alternatives”
Are you sure that Firefox is a good alternative, given all the things they’ve been doing lately? And why not fork, by the way?
Also, Google is funding Mozilla, so… yeah.
Because it’s still better than Chrome? They still support ManifestV2 which is necessary for AdBlockers like uBlock to work properly
Every other browser uses chrome and just puts their stuff on top. So you either use actual Google chrome, a rebrand (I know it’s not exactly that nor that simple), or you use Firefox.
I’d be wondering where the hell my other 64GB went!
Tbh I can already do that with 8gb
proof that money is evil
???
I’d be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I’d have to shut basically everything down.
My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn’t great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That’s when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.
Real question. Doesn’t the computer actually slow down when you have that much memory? Doesn’t the CPU need to seek into a bigger vast vs a smaller memory set?
Or is this an old school way of thinking?
That’s a complicated question. Bigger memory can split it between more banks, which can mean more precharge penalties if the memory you need to access is spread out between them.
But big memory systems generally use workstation or server processors, which means more memory channels, which means the system can access multiple regions of memory simultaneously. Mini-PCs and laptops generally only have one memory controller, higher end laptops and desktops usually have two, workstations often have 4, and big servers can have 8+. That’s huge for parallel workflows and virtualization.
took me a few days but I fully switched to firefox. my computer finally runs the way it should.
My washing machine uses Firefox as well

Linux and FreeBSD systems? Happy and snappy.
Work Windows system filled with crap corp security software? Open electron apps and wait for them to load.
Personal Windows system? Master of Orion, the remake.
what do you need 32gb for in a linux box?
either using it to serve a small network or the old video games
32gb of ram
yes, that was the amount I was responding to
I see. Thanks for your response.
