Memory Usage Comparison - Test #2
Deleted Thanks for doing all the systematic analysis. We've discussed this a number of times in this forum.
Chromium-based browsers are notorious memory hogs, but Edge Chromium seems to be worse than the norm.
Microsoft is aware of the related CPU-use issue and is apparently working on it (see, for example, Top Feedback Summary for September 17😞
That's well and good, but memory hogging is also an issue.
I routinely find myself using 2-3gb RAM after I've used Edge Chromium for a few hours. I hope Microsoft solves this. It doesn't make too much difference on my desktop (16gb RAM) but high (and seemingly escalating as tabs open and close) memory use plays havoc with lower-end (e.g. 4gb RAM) laptops.
In any event, thanks for the work.
