i avoided windows 10 for a while. but i just bought a new computer and it already had windows 10 on it  i have just resigned myself to it, there's no way i'm putting windows 7 on a brand new computer. i disabled all of the spyware, but i know of course that microsoft is sneaker than that.oh well i guess i love you big brother?

Prettz posted:i've used firefox on windows, osx, and linux, and on every single one firefox quickly chomps up as much RAM as that OS will allow and then just sits there running the CPU freeing up little chunks of memory then immediately reallocating them. it does this infinitely until you close it. even if you have just 1 tab running, on windows 7 that's a 1.5 gigabyte tab. Sadly I experience the same thing but I like Firefox way too much. Chrome is so stupidly minimalist that you can't even change tab behavior, or hell, even just click a down arrow to go to your recent sites. Firefox does this weird memory leak thing where pages will just become completely black and I have to resize the window to be able to see the page. Seriously it's like I'm using a computer from the 90s. The thing I don't get about Firefox bringing my laptop to a crawl is that even if it is in fact using 2gb of ram, my laptop has 16gb so why the hell is it causing it to run like a 486? It would make a bit more sense if it was using 14gb of ram, but I have a ton available. Maybe I don't understand how computers work.

That's not a memory leak i think that's it trying to recover after the video driver crashes or something like that. It should just pull up an error and restart but they do that weird thing instead

But chrome does all the same memory devouring behavior that firefox does. And all the overloaded websites that bring firefox to a crawl bring chrome to a crawl just as badly. The only real difference is that chrome has a much worse UI.

Use noscript, and when it inevitably completely fucks up some pages you can manually enable scripts.

I don't want windows 10 only because of the constant dialogs asking me to update from 8. i don't want to be manipulated into an OS update even if it's theoretically supporting more stability and securities.

Chrome is so stupidly minimalist that you can't even change tab behavior, or hell, even just click a down arrow to go to your recent sites. Most modern programming is going towards kernel processes, and microsoft has made a point of making a cryptographic abstraction layer to keep programmers from accessing or loading processes directly into the kernel. They run a lovely archaic static kernel that doesn't have any actual mass and every process tha uses it has to go through some rediculous kernel panic script check that makes sure there aren't any entropy violations because the Fire Marshall would get sooooo mad and poop his pants in anger, and nobody wants to hurt his feelings. So instead of just making an actual nice cool kernel mass every kernel process has to go though a retarded series of checks to make sure your board isn't going to arc out or melt. Because we're still in the loving Cold War and we can't admit that processor kernels have mass because Russia would get sad about the iron process.

It's like, just run your drat kernel through the middle of the earth like everyone else in the free world. You don't need any localized mass, as a fake electron cloud or actual atoms, unless you are in space and going through interstellar magnetic fields. Or you're an antisocial prick and want to keep your poo poo secret from everyone but the cia.
