It's the freaking browsers. Always. Palemoon, Chrome, IE/Edge, they all think memory grows on trees and they can gobble gigabytes of it and the user won't notice. And with so much stuff having "web" components now, it's not going to get better. The only thing that comes close to my browser's memory gorging, is the ridiculous and pointless waste of memory that the Teams client engages in. All while doing NOTHING but having an icon in the systray. Why the hell does Teams need 1.5 GB of RAM just to keep an icon in the systray? Does Electron really suck that badly?
