If you think everyone or even most people out there want to upgrade their computers every couple years, and go for models with lots of RAM in them.. I'm sorry, you're wrong. Some geeks might have 16G or 32G but that's it.

Besides, whatever happened to Web browsing being a lightweight activity accessible for everyone even on his grandma's old PC?

Even a chromebook has multiple GB of RAM now. Yes, a lightweight browser on old machines is desirable, but everything has had more than enough RAM for an extra 100MB for ABP for multiple years.

The Chromebook Pixel I'm sitting behind right now has 4GB. I find it frequently insufficient for Chromes needs. I bought it a year ago; the websites that I use give me the same sort of content that they did a year ago.
