> Modern systems have a ridiculous amount of memory
well it depends on your definition of modern, i suppose. i run Linux on a smartphone, which is about the most modern use of Linux i can think of, and hitting that 3-4 GB RAM limit is all too easy with anything touching the web, adblocker or not.
zram isn't exactly a trump card in that kind of environment, but it certainly makes the experience of saturating the RAM a lot nicer ("hm, this application's about half as responsive as it usually is. checks ram. oh, better close some apps/tabs i don't need." -- versus the default of the system locking for a full minute until the OOMkiller finishes reaping everything under the sun).
