    Lots of people seem to think that memory is a "solved" issue. They've clearly never studied the low-end Android landscape, or they'd be appropriately horrified at the idea of doubling up DOM representations for fear of OOMs.https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1230739413883187200 …

    As with desktop, the low end is defined by replacement. The P90 device was sold 4+ years ago. It has 512-1GB of memory and 2-4 A53 cores in the 1.1-1.4Ghz range. Memory constrains what those users can do more than anything else.

        Oh man. On the contrary, I firmly believe the current breed of JS heavy sites has resulted in memory issues running rampant across the web. We just don't yet have the tooling and metrics to make that clear.

        We sort of have the data - the "crash" reports you can get from the Reporting API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Reporting_API …) shows (in our data) a _lot_ of crashes on mobile devices on some of our more JS heavy pages (thankfully not pages we're carrying fwd), desktops/laptops are rarely affected

        HTTP Archive - Almanac for 2019 provides a good overview of usage and cost. Clearly headed in the wrong direction.

        You are clearly exaggerating the problem. Nothing is ever "complete" of permanently solved, but developers today are generally not noticeably constrained by memory. Sure you can point to low end hardware, but improvement in hardware has been exponential for a long time.
