    Chrome is the container housing that website the developer decided to include 15 libraries at 50 meg each because he couldn’t be bothered to optimize shit and that’s just “standard” now. Oh and tack on the 15 scripts running to mine your data and load unfiltered ads into your userspace.

    Get more ram pleb, it’s cheap… has been the excuse for ages. Makes it easy to ignore the problem.

    Don’t get me wrong- chrome is a pig… but in general it’s the dogshit-bad coding and development choices that turn even a small page into a massive footprint.

      Exactly. There’s no pressure to optimize when you’ve got spare hardware capacity to play with. Makes for lazy devs.
