In this particular instance I think the 4GB of RAM is required only because there's a memory leak somewhere in the JavaScript, but the fact that a page simply displaying an article can have a memory leak at all is kind of mind-blowing.
We all did. I still often think about how the 1996 Olympic website used GIF images with dithered pixels, as did most high-end websites at the time, to save on bandwidth. Now if your page doesn't open with a 100MB+ 4K video in the background it's not cool.
This is why we can't have nice things. Web development is totally out of control. 4GB of RAM to render, I don't know, 1,000 words on one web page? CC: @chrislhayes.bsky.social

At the point all of the browsers are actually fairly efficient handling memory management, taking into account the insane bloat they have to render. The problem is the websites themselves which are incredibly inefficient with the way they are coded and the way everyone has agreed things should work.
Go to Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor and sort by Memory. That should tell you what's eating up your RAM.
Is it ethical? No. But does it produce reliable results? Also no. Ahh! But does it make an obscene profit? Again, absolutely not.
