and no longer require a forced restart after applying an update via a package manager.

To be honest, that's the bigger Linux news...

LFGGGG

MacOS pisses me off endlessly with a popup that forces you to update (and you have to close your apps to update). Linux was better in that it never asks me to update, but if I ever ran an update I would have to close my browser before opening a new tab. This though... This is amazing!!

It never seems to use much memory even with a ton of tabs open. But if it can be even less, all the better.

I am only on Linux so I don't know what windows is like.

It uses for me about 600mb, comparing to chrome where it uses about 800-900mb.

Depends on your definition of "ton" I reckon. Thanks to sideberry I'm permanent reminded that I have 3,000+ open tabs 😭
