Comment (by jb.1234abcd):

 The 2GB RAM with 3GB swap space work usually just fine, not even too slow.

 Here is an example of 'top' output for TB with 4 tabs, Girefox with 11
 tabs, and Libreoffice writer with 1 document.

 No problem with oom-killer or dumps.
 Only TB dumps sometimes (TB keeps running), which would indicate that some
 condition is hit due to internal error or some odd web page in a tab. I do
 not even see when that happens while browsing.
 So, my suggestion as in prior post.
