Eli5: What is RAM and why is it important for browsers?
In: Technology
RAM stands for ‘random access memory’, and it is the place where all applications are run from. Even if you install a program (like a browser) on a disk when it is actually run it is placed into memory so you can actually use it. A browser is just like any other program in that regard. Chrome tends to be memory heavy, so the more RAM you have the better the performance of the browser will be.
