Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.

May as well chop the "s" off "alternatives"
Firefox isn't going to solve the issue of overly bloated websites.
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.

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.
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.

My mid-range gaming PC from 2019 had 16gb, and I was looking at some new pre-builts and saw many still only have 16. Is there just not much need for more, or what? It's cheap - I might double what I've got in DDR4 for $50.
If you're doing a new PC then I'd aim for 32GB.
16GB is enough, yes, but for how much longer? It's been the norm for awhile now, which means that soon it won't be enough.
sort of what I was thinking. I only hit the limit when I have way too many tabs open while playing an intensive game, but it's a cheap upgrade that might keep me in this PC for a few more years.

I have 32gb and I always suggest others to get that much as a baseline theses days. I rarely ever use anywhere close to the full 32gb, but I am often times at or near 16gb in use. The main benefit of having 32gb is in my case I'll basically never be hitting the pagefile, but if you only had 16gb you'll probably rarely max out on ram usage, but you'll probably be hitting the pagefile more often.
With the proliferation of fast SSDs and NVME drives hitting the pagefile is considerably less impactful than it use to be with spinning disks, but it's still slower than RAM.
For gaming it is unlikely you will need more than 16, at least not any time soon.
Depends on the game and what you’re doing with it. Cities: Skylines with a bunch of mods really struggles without a load of RAM. Playing Vintage Story recently, I installed a bunch of mods. Had to uninstall about half to come in under 32GB utilization.
I have a VR headset. Going from 16GB to 64GB was a huge difference in most games

Upgrade to 64GB cause 32 is not enough for my adhd
Then upgrade from 64gb to 128gb because it’s still not enough for my adhd
I've actually been considering using 128gb recently. I'm only considering this as I'm thinking about turning a server of mine into my primary desktop and it has 128gb in it already because I was using a RAM disk to generate large files in memory. I'm now done with that project and it feels silly having this powerful PC sitting here doing nothing.
A single vote cannot convey my interest in this idea.
I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.
getting into 3d art is a regret lowkey, I was fine with my specs before they felt op even
I was into vr too, I was like damn this laptops a beast now im constantly struggling
128 here and I capped it the other day doing an in-memory parsing, lol

Not even use 8GB of it.
Chrome is such a pile of of shit.
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.

I went with 64GB on my most recent build... partially because it will eventually be retired to be a server, partially because last time i did a new build with brand new RAM, RAM prices skyrocketed (tsunami hit Taiwan IIRC, but still) immediately afterwards
Play some horribly unoptimized games, like the Oblivion Remaster that recommends having 32gb. Which is fucking insane.

Run our of RAM, apparently.
A few containers, a bunch of IDE windows with large work spqces and a dozen or two browser tabs add up. At least I can follow my "workflow" of doing three things at more or less the same as time
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.
Oh yay, lemmy is finally popular enough to have a nobody asked e-peen guy!
NERD!
seriously, nice rig phat stats

Buy 32 more and lollygag on actually installing it, if my recent actions have proven anything.
can't be turnin off the computer all willynillly now so that checks out 👍
Well, I don't think I need that much RAM, but it's a funny joke, modern browsers consume an insane amount of RAM.

Cry that one of my RAM sticks failed.
Is it Chrome or is it the web page
Maybe it’s Maybelline
I have 32gb of ram.
I literally only upgraded so I could install more mods in minecraft and cities skylines 1.
I have 32GB and for most of what I do, which is normal desktop stuff and gaming, and occasionally messing with VMs, it's fine if not overkill.

32GB of RAM with zram configured aggressively and I still get close at times to running out of ram. 2 more years and I'll probably need to upgrade to 128GB
