Seriously, I never understood all the memes about google chrome eating ram. I am used to opening like tons of tabs and my general ram usage never exceeds 4GBs. What is the fuckery with all hatred against chrome, someone please explain!

Is there a chance you have a total of 4GB ram, in that case I highly doubt it’ll be able to eat more ram unless you sacrifice a goat to it

I think it's the same case with slow Internet Explorer. Chrome indeed used to use tons of RAM, but nowadays it's much better.

I dunno, I think it's people who only have about 4gigs of ram and rather complain than get a decent machine.

@mac-aga as you can see in htop I have 16gig

@AI-Overlord , the image is compressed , not very clear, but hey congratulations

4 gigs of ram in tabs ugh mercy please

@Quirinus That is only one gig ram for 11 tabs. I run in background PyCharm und Jupyter Notebook

4 gigs of RAM is absurd! There are AAA games, doing complicated scene rendering, physics engines, etc that can exist with 4gb of ram. The fuck does a web browser need that much for?

Let's do the math. You said 11 tabs, 1gb. So if you load every byte into memory, no paging out, each site should contain 1/11th of a gig. Or 93mb. Which is almost kind of reasonable except if you've got 11 tabs open, and especially if you have 44 tabs open, it should be swapping out.
