  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

    But overall I'd say the largest memory hog coming from browsers are ads and large media. An adblock or content blocker (like uBlock Origin) can help a lot in this.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
