Ох как я устал от горе-писателей фронтэнда. На ноуте с 8 гигами, убунтой и zram работает Chrome с uBlock и TooManyTabs , но даже с ними выедает кучу памяти, почти любой клик чего-либо вызывает своп. А как люди тестируют свои творения сразу в нескольких разных браузерах - ума не приложу. Лидирует по выжиранию памяти gmail, раньше он один доходил до гига, сейчас его что-ли чуть починили, он похудел - есть только пол-гига, прогресс, блин. А ещё ведь IDE, Wine, Skype, Teamviewer, Krusader и ещё куча чего - всем хочется по гигу.

What are the options to make chrome lose weight?
I have a suspicion that he asks the OS how much memory we have in the system and is comfortably located throughout. I recently held a non-notebook with one gig of memory in my hands, so there chrome works almost at the same speed. What if we write a tool that will replace the API call and the OS will tell Chrome, we only have two gigs, my dear, do not deny yourself anything.
Is there a memory quota mechanism in Linux at all? Those. so that processes named chrome cannot take more than a gig of RAM, the rest is in swap, period. Then at least everything else will work.
Or are there some tricky plugins that cut unnecessary javascripts if uBlock can't handle it?
What other ideas are there?

Answer 1

Do not open chrome, this is the only option to make him lose weight
Why everyone is so hoping for a swap, a swap will mercilessly load the disk for you and everything else will lag wildly

Answer 2

Install 32GB of memory
Install ssd
Do not open many tabs
Do not keep many applications open
Speed ​​and memory are indirectly related

Answer 3

1. Effective solution: Put the maximum memory and forget about all this hemorrhoids. Sorry.
2. Palliative: put some plugin to solve this problem, such as recently described somewhere on GT OneTab or some analogue, which are probably listed in the comments to the linked post.
