Well… Poettering will eventually work his way up to browser engines and then we’ll get something efficient… Here’s the announcement:
"There’s a new component in systemd, called “engined”. Or actually, it’s not a new component, it’s actually the long existing “WebKit” engine now done properly. The engine is also a lot more fun to use than “WebKit” or “Blink” because you can finally have hundreds of tabs open in your browser without running out of RAM.
