The Notebookcheck portal tested 11 browsers on the same laptop to determine which one consumes the least amount of RAM. According to the test results, "Yandex Browser" showed some of the best results, consuming 21% less RAM than Chrome and 29% less than Opera Air.
The testing was conducted on an MSI Prestige with an Intel Core i7-1195G7 (11th generation) processor, integrated Iris Xe graphics, 16 GB of RAM, and Windows 10 Home 22H2. The test methodology included opening several tabs: Notebookcheck.net, pages with reviews and news, as well as YouTube with searching and watching videos. After that, the amount of memory consumed was recorded in the Task Manager.
Average test results (RAM consumption with 4 tabs):
- Cốc Cốc (Chromium 133): 1968 MB
- Opera Air (Chromium 131): 1697 MB
- Opera GX (Chromium 132): 1586 MB
- Opera (Chromium 132): 1523 MB
- Chrome (Chromium 134): 1516 MB
- Edge (Chromium 134): 1486 MB
- Firefox 136: 1327 MB
- Sleipnir (Chromium 131): 1228 MB
- Maxthon (Chromium 128): 1222 MB
- "Yandex Browser" (Chromium 132): 1194 MB
- Whale (Chromium 132): 1176 MB
Thus, "Yandex Browser" turned out to be one of the most economical browsers, second only to Whale. Unlike some competitors, it does not block ads by default, which makes its result even more impressive.
Chrome, despite its popularity, is far from a leader in terms of RAM efficiency, especially on low-power laptops with 4 GB of RAM. Notebookcheck recommends that users of such devices choose more economical browsers, such as "Yandex Browser" or Whale.
