This means I could only do 3 browsers at once, so I picked Google, Brave and Firefox with adblock enabled. I wanted to do this side by side to minimize outside influences and make it easier as doing all of it and restarting constantly was going to be an issue, so I decided to limit ram to 8gb, this allowed me to run 3 VM’s side by side. ![]() I made two copies of the earlier virtual machine and opened each with a different browser. The next test was conducted with 8GB ram, why only 8? I wanted to run 3 identical virtual machines side by side, by using 8Gb I could do that and leave enough memory for my system to not impact results. Of course this prompted further testing which is why this took 2 weeks to get done. While some numbers may seem insignificant if they scale it could pose a significant issue later. This may be that they are tuned to take advantage of more ram. Google Chrome and Chromium went down on ram use going to 16Gb while Brave and Firefox both went up. Adblocking on Firefox was done with ublock Origin. Brave takes Chromium and further removes anything Google and tracking/telemetry related. Google takes Chromium and further adds their own tracking and telemetry along with APIs for other Google services. Note, Chromium is the open source browser that Google Chrome and Brave is based on. I opened one browser noted numbers then restarted and tried the next. Too much content change, such as a news site, could alter the results. The idea being I wanted dynamic but stable content. Newegg has lots of flash and internal ads while Slashdot has lots of external flash and text ads. Testing was done with 6 core with 8 and 16GB of ram, I setup each browser to have the same two home pages to start with, in this case and. I was initially going to use Win8, however my Win8 VM decided to crash very early into testing, Mint Linux was considered but getting all of these browsers on it took too much effort so an Arch based distro (which I'm now more familiar with) was my go to. I loaded up an instance of Endeavour OS Linux, the spiritual successor to my favorite distro, Antergos. In the end I questioned if it was a problem with Chrome or was it due to the load itself and a quick test kind of confirmed it was a combination of the two but never answered if it was exclusive to Chrome. Some of my initial ideas were wrong (old information), but for the most part my advice was correct, just not the why. To summarize, Naweo wanted a system that could run a ton of Chrome tabs and I basically said it wouldn't happen due to how Chrome was written and just how the net ran. ![]() #Antergos install brave browser how toSo about 2 weeks ago Naweo asked about how to build a system that could run a bunch of Chrome tabs, you can find the discussion here. ![]()
