Well, most of the websites now are mostly bloatsites with so much useless effects and/or scripts.. 8 gigs of ram is not a problem here, current standards or maybe let’s call them fancy e-fashions are.

Few days ago I stumbled upon a single page website that was loading like 12 fonts and I don’t remember how many effects libraries just to use some fading and one font in two weights.

I went to change privacy settings on my old yahoo email account and the tab started taking up 24GB of ram. Some sites are just mega fucked.

I accept sites looking not as imagined by the designer and even partially not working sites ... But I'd never ever disable the ad blocker, the cookie whitelist and the JavaScript whitelist.

If the site does not work at all and if I really need the content of that site I open it in a new private window. If I can find the needed information elsewhere, Ctrl+W it is!
