Problem is, there is a big divide in user base: For a normal user, 8 GB is mostly sufficient. If you have a lot of chrome tabs open, 16 GB makes your day. But, if you are any sort of a creator, you can not have enough ... my 256GB is barely enough.
8 gigabytes is not enough to run Windows. It ok for an iPad, but any Windows computer with 8GB ram essentially unusable and will crawl to a halt the second you open a web browser.
We use Ublock Origin and try to compress the RAM as a virtual swap everywhere.
Chrom* based browsers have optimized switches for low end machines, starting with --light, that's it, append that parameter to your desktop shortcut and things will speed up a bit.
Using the web today without UBo today it's suicidal.
