excessive memory ram usage on MacBook Air 2020
hello, i have gone to the apple store, spoken to apple support, and nothing they have done/told me to do has fixed this problem. my macbook air 2020 has 8gb of ram, but when looking at activity monitor, the memory used is always at 5gb or more. usually more like 6. if i look at my mom's computer, which is the same exact model bought at the same time, all of the applications she has running use about a tenth of what mine do. i also used to use google chrome, but switched to safari because the apple store employee said it might be better, but news flash, it's not. i'm seriously tired of trying to resolve this issue. below is my current activity monitor. my computer is updated, i usually never have more than like 10 tabs open at a time when using safari/chrome, i always clear my trash, my files are organized. i can't keep on doing this. if anyone has anything else i can look at, i will try. otherwise i will just have to wipe my computer and hope it works.
