768 MB of RAM may not be enough for a smooth experience

[eXPc023]

Hello,
In the readme it says "At least 2 threads and 768 MB RAM is recommended" but in modern web it's not going to be adequate at all (considering the browser itself takes up to 400 MB alone without any extensions, leaving little space for websites).
The user may also want to install uBlock Origin as the ads will make the browsing experience a lot worse than usual.
At some issue someone says "I removed uBlock Origin and it released ~200 MB". That means, if the user installs uBO, then they will have to use swap memory a lot more than they should and it will make the experience even worse!
Note: disk speed is more important in Chromium than Firefox, as the former will tend to use disk cache a lot while the latter will use it less.
Here's my screenshot (taken with one incognito tab to ensure no extensions were active):

Even Mozilla and Google recommended at least 1 GB for a stable experience (which was long long ago). Running with --single-process might help (if it even works though), but not much. I would've want to test it on a machine with 1 GB RAM but the lowest amount of RAM that I have is 2 GB.
So here's my report,
Thanks if you've read it at all.

This was based on my experience testing on my Pentium M laptop with 512 MB of RAM. There was not much in the way of swapping until a few tabs were running, and it appeared that the single thread was the main bottleneck plus the 5400 rpm HDD. Maybe I had simply been conditioned to run as few tabs as possible after my experience with other browsers (including roytam browsers) on this particular system. I will increase the RAM recommendation accordingly.

▶️ it appeared that the single thread was the main bottleneck plus the 5400 rpm HDD.

I tried to replicate this instance with AthlonII X4 and 2.5'' HDD + fully udapted XP with POSReady updates

10 youtube tabs streaming at the same time (720p video quality)

the RAM usage is pretty much the same as the @weolar 's XP browser but this one stutters or doesn't work without the mobo audio driver.

the more RAM available the more RAM a web browser will take up ??? I believe this is a myth....

for other type of websites the RAM usage is quite low but for users like me who open tens of tabs at a time I would recommend at least 4GB + PAE for a great browsing experience

conclusion: this browser is actually better than I expected

360chrome changed my mind and I no longer miss any of those backports although they are good enough for those users with obsolete hardware from the early 2000's @roytam1

I don't think there is a need of @-ing me?
