Hi there, helping a friend and his 4 GB RAM laptop out. His mother won’t allow him to get another OS as I suggested, so we’re stuck with Windows 10.

    Ungoogled Chromium: https://chromium.woolyss.com/ It should be the most barebones Chromium browser, hopefully using less RAM. And! Important: Download the 32bit version, even if you choose another browser. As your friend only has 4GB RAM, the max memory a 32bit software can address, you wouldn’t have any benefit from a 64bit version, and 32bit apps usually use much much less memory (RAM).

    Good luck!

      Thank you, I didn’t know that about 32 bit systems. I recommended that friend to get everything in 32bit signature from now on.
