Well if you check the screenshot you will notice that LinkedIn was using about 10x more memory for a few tabs ;)
The most insane one is at +15GB lolI felt &quot;reductive&quot; reading that LinkedIn was using &lt;3GB for 2 tabs given my experience.

Three days ago someone posted - LinkedIn uses 2.4 GB RAM across two tabs<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47561489">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47561489</a>What next, a new post with the RAM value when 12 tabs are open?

I posted because I saw that a few days ago but 2.4GB felt &quot;reductive&quot; 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&#x27;t even do performance tests at all.

https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ibb.co&#x2F;605p8bP3A couple of months ago my machine became totally unusable and wasn&#x27;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&#x27;s just insane.(ram bought a couple of years ago)

LinkedIn uses 65GB of RAM with 7 tabs opened
