Support NeoGAF

I have a Surface Laptop 1 with an i5 7200U and 4gb of RAM. Coming from my main laptop with an i5 8565U and 16gb of RAM, I notice it is a bit slower but the biggest difference is the hitching/pausing when trying to start new applications. It also cannot handle multiple tabs as well.

I have always used Firefox and never could get used to Chrome but in my situation what would be the better browser?

I would suggest just trying them both out and seeing what you like.

add another stick of RAM

I'd say chrome. But adding more ram in your laptop is a really good idea.

I have a laptop with the same cpu but with 8gb of ram and a NVMe SSD. I've found Chrome runs much better on mine than Firefox.

Firefox vs Brave.

Brave is a bit better performance wise.

 

[Tesseract]

you need a new memory chip

Try edge chromium, it works quite well with 4gb of ram

Chrome is bit faster on weaker hardware, but that is soon negated by the lack of ad-blockers.
Firefox + U-block Origin has the most performance gain, from what I've tried. Ad banners take so much power for essentially nothing.
