It isn't depending on what "web browsing" someone is doing, which can be a pretty wide range now.

1 persons "web browsing" is no browser extensions, a couple of gmail tabs, some light blog reading, and maybe something as heavy as reddit.

While another persons "web browsing" is running multiple browser extensions like grammerly, adblocker, etc. Along with a bunch of gmail tabs, plus a bunch of heavy "web apps"(think: miro, monday.com, google workspace/office365, photoshop online) and then throw 10s-100s of tabs of "research" on top of that.

8gb is quickly becoming unworkable for people that fall closer to the latter group.

That's computing, not web browsing. And on not so great platform than that.


well those are really apps, the fact that they are running in a browser does not make that browsing.
