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

772 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?

Because web designers are incapable of exercising restraint and they jam dozens of js trackers and ad bullshit into every page. Facebook’s frontend engineers are war criminals
