Yeah, the kind of people that need high-performance productivity apps for their jobs but can't afford to upgrade to a $1000 M1 Macbook Air but will be able to spend what I assume will be more than $10 / month indefinitely /s
Bro I _have_ a $1000 M1 Macbook Air, and it's slow af when I browse the web. Constantly lags, freezes, runs out of RAM.
And that's a $1000 that I have to spend every few years, for just a mediocre experience (Since by the time it's 4-6 years old, it's virtually unusable for anything but the simplest of websites).
Maybe if people just wrote more HTML+JS rather than these big hefty "500kb of JS" React-based websites, this wouldn't be necessary. But as it is, $120/year is actually very cheap if it actually solves the problem it claims to solve. (Even $300/yr wouldn't be unreasonable tbh, esp if it's on my employer's card since work tabs are the hefty tabs for me)
I also have an M1 MacBook Air. It's very snappy on both Firefox and Safari.
Sometimes when I woke the computer up from sleep, Firefox would be crazy laggy. I suspect some resource leakage but at least RAM and CPU were fine. Closing and reopening the browser would work around it.
