A couple of months ago my machine became totally unusable and wasn't understanding why, however after a quick check I discovered the ram was full and the swap as well.

After discovering that chrome ate more than half of my ram I checked out the ram consumption on chrome and I was shocked 65GB it's just insane.

(ram bought a couple of years ago)

I posted because I saw that a few days ago but 2.4GB felt "reductive" considering what I experienced on my machine ;)

All this engineering and they still have these basic sub-optimal memory leaks with just a few tabs.

Makes me wonder that they don't even do performance tests at all.
