In what universe does adblock use 40MB ram per tab? If you're going to be using an ad blocker get ublock origin as it has been proven to be faster and memory efficient if that matters to you. It's 2015 but people are still caring about something using too much ram?

Evidently you're basing your statement on a simple Google search.

Here's my Independent tests conducted over a year ago. On one tab (Iframes Inclusive), It consumed 80MB of ram.

Pertaining to using too much Ram, are you saying that even with "memory leaks" (also exhausting virtual memory/page file due to Insufficient ram), thus causing significant system Instability and/or loss of functionality Is fine? Of course Ram Is an Issue. It's not only running applications that are of concern, but also the "nature" of applications.

Furthermore, It all depends on NOT the physically Installed Ram, but more so the "available/free" Ram. If I only had 2GB of Ram and due to running applications and/or VMs etc was only left with 800MB of available/free Ram, then yes, It Is of concern If I were to opt for the Implementation of Adblock.
