Pickman6565yBecause it respects a Microsoft design principle. Be wasteful in your design, the important thing is that you offer something new and shiny, the PCs eventually will become powerful enough to run your software.
So it makes sense to add new features even if they start to run decently at 16 GBs and this means that many machines older than 4 years will not be able to run efficiently. -
fuckwit12185y@irene last time I checked I had 3 windows with ~15 tabs on each of them.
Addonwise I only use RES, uBlockOrigin, and some other shit I don't remember (should probably clean that out).
Chrome total ram usage was a around 1.1-1.2GB which is more than acceptable. -
@fuckwit You can't change their mind, just flow with them. I guess my laptop is a waste.

I use Linux and never got the joke. Could run 10 tabs at once asmr it does not make any difference

Chrome has to do a hilariously complicated job as fast as possible and to be fair to the Google engineers, there's a ton of unused RAM on most systems, might as well use it.
-
nixed615yYou probably have a plethora of tabs open. Get a plugin that suspends your unused tabs. Then run Linux.
Okay, that last part is optional. -
C0D4681465yMore extensions and JavaScript heavy sites / or streaming sites use a tonne of RAM.
Remove unused extensions, stop watching YouTube all fucking day and you will probably see a reduction of chrome going to town on your ram.
Also, check the chrome task manager and screen shot it. I want to see what you're actually complaining about. -
because we pull dozen of packages from npmjs.com just to have prettier font... year by year we loose one important term "resourceful"

C0D4681465y@irene oh 🙁
Guess I'm just an mildly occasional redditor. So phone app enough for the mindless browse.
