Hello
I recently bought an ASUS Zenbook Flip UX360UAK with a 7th gen Intel i7 and 8gb of RAM and Windows 10 home OS. One thing I have noticed is that my browsers all take up a lot of memory and I don't understand why. For example a simple facebook tab on Firefox takes up more than 600 mb of memory whereas my Lenovo Thinkpad x260 (6th gen i5, 8gb RAM and Windows 10 Pro) takes up only 100 mb of memory when opening Facebook. Right now, with 5 tabs open, my Firefox is using up 1,3 gb of memory, whereas it hardly ever goes over 500 on the Thinkpad. If anything, my Thinkpad browser has more apps installed, so that can't be the cause. What could be causing this? I recently updated my Windows 10 to the fall creators version but that didn't change anything.
edit: My asus has a QHD+ screen whereas my Thinkpad does not. Could this be the defining factor?
Thanks ahead
