why do web browsers use so much ram, while the average size of an entire webpage is 2mb?

679 views

From what I understand, one could cache 100 web pages (obviously, 2mb is average, but there are much smaller and much larger than that) in about 200mb. 1GB could cache literally 500 web pages.

How come web browsers use so much ram then?

I can’t run Firefox any longer. It takes forever to load then just gets hung up, slow, and crashes all of the time. It was my go-to browser for years. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it with a fresh download and it still has the same issues. I just use Chrome now.
