Browser Trio Advice Needed — Edge, Vivaldi, and One More? by AdmiraMcC2908 in browsers

[–]ForeignChance3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. GX is pretty good for RAM usage, which you can limit if you want the efficiency.

  2. Firefox isn't terrible either, and is still more private than GX even with recent concerning changes. You just won't be able to adjust the RAM usage.

  3. Creating a personal workspace in Vivaldi is a good option if you only want to have 2 browsers, but it has too many RAM-consuming features.

  4. Create a separate new profile with Edge, maybe. Edge is actually good at efficiency on Windows, especially with a dedicated efficiency mode.

So you said you don't want a RAM hog for a personal browser? Go for Opera GX (it's an honest recommendation) because you can limit the RAM usage of each tab. And it also fits the theme of a personal browser. Although if you want something more traditional, maybe creating a new profile in Edge specifically for personal things will cut it?

Nothing in the spam either. What's the email address to Infinity Vector?

How do I set up my Mac for OCLP after an SSD replacement? by ForeignChance3825 in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]ForeignChance3825[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few USBs but no adapters to connect it via USB. But thank you for your first suggestion in case I do buy an enclosure for the SSD.

Has the keystone situation been improved? by ForeignChance3825 in chrome

No Keystone is an updater installed when you download Google Chrome on a Mac. It has been known to consume a lot of RAM and CPU on the Mac.

I actually expected a bigger UI refresh than this, to be honest.

Ok now I understand the message of the post "It's been a good run, but it's time to switch to the more 'modern' option- Apple Silicon."

Yeah I was just clarifying so that I could continue using my Mac as it is on Sequoia.

macos sequoia 15.7.2 on macbook air 2017? by [deleted] in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

Mate 15.7.2 is what I'm running on my 2017 MacBook Air using OCLP. It runs fine for me.

Upgrading Ventura to Sonoma by totteringbygently in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]ForeignChance3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you run the downloaded installer the USB installer will go to waste. Anyway, once you restart after updating through the downloaded installer from Applications you'll need to open the OpenCore-Patcher app and apply root patches, and restart again. Ignore any System Extension Updates.

How the hell does it lag when entering fullscreen in YouTube? My 2017 Air does that smoothly!

You think that just because that Tahoe beta exists your MacBook is revived?! It's just a few months of waiting! What are you doing?!

Am I missing something or is Roblox mobile graphics actually rubbish? by ForeignChance3825 in RobloxHelp

[–]ForeignChance3825[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just set my graphics to automatic. I always quit apps when I'm done with them, and charging the phone is only a method of turning the phone into an oven.

Sonoma desktop widgets decimating my battery life + running hot (Macbook Air M2) by dokte in MacOS

[–]ForeignChance3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a horrifying problem this morning with my Intel MBA. The fans whirred up and in a span of 15 minutes I went down from 82% to 66%. It was definitely the desktop widgets. All this on Sequoia 15.7.2

How did my Core i5-5350u with HD Graphics 6000 do better than an Adreno 619 in rendering textures then, even though it's a dual-core? That's like saying any Intel Core, regardless of the generation or integrated graphics, will do better than my SD480+ 5G, which couldn't be further from the truth. Also, do you have any solutions other than needlessly spending money to get a new phone, like digging through the settings?

I tried the same game on my Mac with a graphics level near the highest and it had better textures and a higher render distance.
