No, only one Facebook page, the subheadings or “subframes” are found on many different sites, such as those on the YouTube page, below facebook (which I think you thought were also facebook), and I’m not sure what they exactly represent…
Every morning I must first close and then reopen Brave, because it’ll have taken over 20 GIGs of my RAM! Then when it opens, it still uses nearly 15, which is completely unacceptable! And that GPU Process is always above 5 GBs, usually 5.2 -5.8 , and that’s without anything at all streaming!
Is it just me or does Version 1.15.72 seem to be playing much nicer with RAM and CPU use? I had a couple of Facebook tabs that didn’t fully load the first time but, so far, there’s no crashing or seizing like I was experiencing earlier.
Websites have a lot of influence on a browser’s RAM usage, especially unruly sites like Facebook.
Some simple / quick testing on openSuse Tumbleweed, using Brave Nightly [channel]
Example (keep in mind I do not have a FB account, but can visit some sites without a login),
I just arrived at a particular FB account: == 93K
… have “scrolled down” on their content == 205k
… have selected a different tab == 258k
… after five minutes away on another tab == 292K
Now let’s go to ibm.com … arrived == 50k
… navigated to Business Ops == 55k
… scrolled down on that page == 65k
… selected a different tab == 66k
… after five minutes away on another tab == 65k
And now to wunderground.com … arrived == 100k
… scrolled down on that page == 230k
… selected a different tab == 295k
… after five minutes away on another tab == 502k (!)
I also ran the same tests using Vivaldi Snapshot and Chrome Dev on the same machine and the memory usage was comparable.
It’s also my experience that running comparable tools on Windows reflects in a tendency to use more RAM (which is one reason I don’t run on Windows)
For me, I don’t see the issues that folks in this thread see, with respect to CPU and RAM usage. And I strictly use Brave Nightly and Brave Dev (versus Release, so if anyone were to see issues, it’d be someone like me running these nightly releases : ).
(I also run Chrome Dev, Opera Dev, Vivaldi Snapshot, and Firefox Nightly)
Maybe it’s a Linux thing : )
To conclude, one really has to take into consideration things like the website, extensions, how many tabs are open, and so on,
