Great video. While my CPU usage is below 10%, my RAM usage is in the 80-90% usually because Firefox has five or six tabs open, non-video yet. When my wife pushes it higher is when she leaves CBS Sports tab on so I have to close it down after she's through. Firefox uses a lot of RAM (I have 16 GB) on a high end computer so I'm thinking I should just double my RAM to 32 GB and problem solved. I also noted that Avast has 29 open processes in the background but draws probably under 2 GB.
I have 85% average Memory (16gb) with Firefox, Chrome and Edge open; however, my CPU use stays at 5%. Three users using separate browsers so we just close them as we need. Everything else is low and the computer runs smoothly and fast. I guess if the CPU %age went up, I would have a problem but the computer apparently is cruising at low demand.
With a decent CPU, 16 GB RAM and a SSD your sitting above average and that will usually handle your browser efficiently, just remember to reboot from time to time and try and keep the system clean of unwanted programs or startup items that are unnecessarily eating up your memory!
Always good advice from My Computer Works. I work in IT and I have to say the advice they give is always accurate. Nice of them to share it for free.
Thank you we appreciate the comment!

NICE! keep an eye on it that will help you identify what you need to close when your done so your not eating up those resources.
I have 40GB of ram (yes really, two 16s and an 8) mostly because of Chrome (well, now Edge).
40 GB NICE! well above average my friend!
u b bad!

nobody tells me how many windows to have going. NOBODY.
Hey if you have the RAM to handle it go crazy!
