I was wondering if old reddit+res+ublock origin is comparable to lemmy?

      Thanks for asking! I’m using a T440 thinkpad with 8gbs of ram. I’m not planing to upgrade the specs as it is my backup linux machine. I would like to be able to use it in the optimal way possible.

        I think restricting yourself to certain website for optimisation isn’t necessary.

        It is like saying you would avoid driving a city car to the motorway because it is more efficient on city roads.

    According to a memory snapshot from Firefox 126 devtools, with uBlock Origin, immediately after a fresh page load:

    I imagine both versions of Reddit would be worse without the adblocker. There are multiple frontends for Lemmy, and I did not test them all. Other browsers might differ slightly.
