4 ways to reduce Orion RAM usage
1 Use the built-in content blocker
No extension needed — Orion blocks ads natively for maximum efficiency.
2 Pin frequent tabs
Orion has special memory optimizations for pinned tabs.
3 Install extensions sparingly
Chrome/Firefox extensions work but each adds overhead even on WebKit.
4 Use Tab Groups
Orion suspends grouped-but-inactive tabs automatically.
How DevPulse helps with Orion
DevPulse recommends Orion as a top alternative when Chrome, Arc, or Firefox exceed 1 GB. It tracks Orion's tiny footprint as proof that native engines win.
Instead of guessing how much RAM Orion consumes or manually checking Activity Monitor, DevPulse gives you a clear, always-visible answer in your menu bar.
