Ask HN: Why does Chrome use 100+ mb of memory per tab?
- bitpush 2mo agoIsnt chrome doing process isolation per tab? The cost of RAM comes with strict security guarantees.
- coalstartprob2 2mo agoare you ram poor come on
- Uptrenda 2mo agowe went to the moon with 15 kb of ram. 15 kb. There's no way that chrome needs to use that many resources per tab. Something terrible has gone wrong there.
- coalstartprob2 2mo agothen try to make a browser with 15kb of ram those c++ engineers know what theyre doing, and at times they seem like they dont, im pretty sure there were some sensible tradeoffs at play
- khurs 2mo agoIts google, they are probably allocating 99mb to make sure adverts are displaying for max revenue and tracking is being sent by the truck load. And 1mb for the page content.
