Good call, but only some - I'm pretty sure it's not to the point of thrashing. Even so, with if I had enough RAM to totally avoid swapping, I don't think chromium would drop by a factor of 5 or 6. (I don't generally sit and watch - I generally try to emerge chromium overnight.) However, the few times I've been trying to use the system while chromium compiles, it's been slow, but not totally unresponsive. In addition - I think the huge memory use is only for a small part of the total chromium compile. Jack

Yes it is possible; to achieve that you just have to use www-client/firefox, e.g compile it from source Due to dependencies (now ff is boud with dev-lang/rust which subsequently requires llvm and clang) compilation time is comparable to chromium Chromium frequently takes over 24 hours to compile on my system, although the last two emerges were about 11 hours each.

one problem here is, that I am using firefox-bin, because compiling
firefox gave me compile errors in the past.
One dependency of firefox-bin ispulseaudio.

For some reason, it likes the idea. So, differences between us. I
notice you are on a newer version of alsa than I am. Here's mine:
[IP-] [ ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.2:0
[IP-] [ ] media-sound/alsa-utils-1.1.2:0.9
Could it be that it doesn't like the newer version of alsa, yet at
least? Possible.
Does that help any? Could you drop to that lower version of alsa and
see if it helps or is there a needed fix for you in that newer version?

I tried Palemoon some time ago. I checked its security and privacy feature with certain sites on the internet, which provide such services and found some issues, which I wanted to discuss on their forum. The answer was not to believe such sites and in result security would be a matter of how much I believe in a certain software.
