Firefox has long been the most resource-efficient browser I've seen. I can have a ton of tabs open in multiple windows (on Linux) and it used to only get the main process to a few gigabytes of address space and a gig or less resident in memory. When not actively using it, CPU usage was moderate, with the main process using between nothing and 20 or 30%. It was fast and responsive.

And now, it's jerky as hell.

The main process has allocated 16 GB and the resident size is varying between 2 and 3 GB. It'll go down, and then suddenly another 300-500 MB of memory is resident, while the browser is doing basically nothing. CPU varies from 25 to 150+%.

Killing off some of the sandbox processes, the ones that are taking 100+% CPU, helps a little, for a bit, but it keeps getting worse.

We all knew they were dropping their focus on the important stuff by focusing on "AI" bullshit, and this is the result. It'll end up driving me to Vivaldi [1] if it doesn't improve.

[1] Or servo, if it becomes a usable daily driver.

Microsoft: AI is great! AI should be in everything! AI is so capable, it can write code for you! In fact, 30% of the code we ship is now written by AI! AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI. Line goes up forever. AI AI AI AI AI AI.

Also Microsoft: Here's a trivial little AI helper for Github repos to manage labels on issues, which will happily argue with itself indefinitely, here doing and un-doing the same action more than 5200 times before someone stopped it by closing the issue.

Wonder if it was written by "AI".

[1] Bonus points because the repo is, itself, for an "AI" tool.

Around two decades ago a friend asked me what I thought of SEO work, I called it was "morally bankrupt twiddling with no societal value." It astounds me to think of how many other tech " innovation " since have been even worse. #LineGoesUp #PerverseIncentives

Because "Be just evil enough to satisfy the 'line goes up forever' people indefinitely" didn't fit on the T-shirt.
