I had thought that I had fixed the issue the previous day, but it was wrong!ī was taking an exorbitant 88 GB of RAM! My memory pressure was in red, and the first thing I did was to force quit safari. The next day I woke up, not expecting anything unusual on my Mac, obviously. Like any “normal” person would do, I had left that web page on Safari throughout the night. The night before, I had opened to find an answer to a math question. It didn’t seem like it would annoy me again the same day. I quit Safari, and the RAM issue seemed to be resolved.
The 3 E-commerce websites were accumulating up to 8.2 GB of RAM(give or take). Still, I saw literally shocking numbers that day. I was using about 3 GB of swap (unusual, because my iMac has 16 Gigs of RAM, and only 5 tabs were open).Ī using 3.6 GB, was using 3.2 GB, GeeksforGeeks using 2 GB and using 1.4 GB.Į-commerce webpages such as Nike, Adidas, and Apple generally do not use more than 800 MB of RAM. This meant that the RAM usage was moderately high. The moment I opened Activity Monitor, I could see my Memory Pressure Meter in yellow. I quickly launched activity monitor to see the RAM usage on the computer.Īt that time, I only had 4–5 Safari tabs open(,, ,, ), nothing much. In the evening, at around 5:00 pm, I was watching a YouTube video when I noticed that my iMac was acting really slow and buggy(acting wildly when I was swiping between pages). The day went on, and I went about my day as usual. Grammarly was actively checking my sentences, punctuations and all the other good stuff it does. I went to the App Store and installed the Safari extension for Mac, and then got back to editing my blog. It could be used on any platform, such as Google Docs and other editors. So, I went to Grammarly’s website and noticed that they had released an extension for Safari. This was the day when I was proofreading my first article on Medium I got a brilliant idea of using Grammarly to proofread my work. Let’s rewind back to October so that I can narrate it to you. I have been waiting a really long time to tell you this hilarious story. In fact, I am using it right now to check for mistakes in this article. The Ai Smart checking features have corrected me several times, whether it is a incorrect spelling, passive voice, hard to read sentences and much more. Since February this year, I have had a Grammarly premium membership, and the tool has been utterly remarkable. Grammarly App Editor - Courtesy of Author
