I have checked the RAM status, and that does not seem to be the current
problem. I can start to get this when all browsers are fully loaded
with large, active content, though. I did seem to have severe memory
problems when using the Brave browser, which quickly tries to take over
almost all of the available computer memory, but I've stopped using it
because of that problem.

I may not be using browsers the way many people do. For me, it is quite
convenient and productive to have at least several hundred browser tabs
open at the same time, and be able to flip back and forth between them
quickly. This is helpful for studying complex issues, to see exactly
how the dozens of parts of the complex issue are related and/or go
together or not. I've not been able to do this with just a single
browser, so I'm trying to do this by using several different browsers
at the same time.

Thanks for the suggestions!
