I have 4GB of RAM and an Intel Celeron N4000. Chrome and Edge work decently, but they always freeze at the worst possible moments. Firefox, Brave?

    Firefox with Ublock Origin is pretty much the gold standard. But, it likely won’t do terribly better. Modern webpages are big.

    You need to either Linux to get the OS RAM usage down or get another 4gb in there. Both would help a ton.

      I assumed Linux given the specs and that Chrome works at all.

      Vote for firefox as you should be anyway. Another trick to try is an explicit tab unloader extension (for fine control of unloading) and/or the built in about:unloads .

      All browsers seem to accumulate memory (and cpu usage) over time, sometimes you just have to shut it down and restart. (AKA have you tried turning it off and on again :) A daily (possibly shorter if needed) service to restart it can work.
