9it's sad we live in a world where each browser tab requires 1GB of memory– tbodtCommented Jan 12, 2017 at 2:51

10@tbodt I blame ancient Egyptians. If only they knew what they were doing by domesticating those pesky cats!– Dmitry GrigoryevCommented Jan 12, 2017 at 8:10

1@tbodt It's a bit of an exaggeration too. My browser with 8 tabs open only takes 500MB of memory.– Random832Commented Jan 13, 2017 at 20:45

3@Random832 Sure it's an exaggeration, though I'm not sure about the line between exaggeration and being future-proof. My first PC had 32 MB of RAM and I could easily open 8 tabs in Opera without noticeable swapping. Now it takes 500MB, so in another 20 years it might as well reach 8GB.– Dmitry GrigoryevCommented Jan 14, 2017 at 16:09

1@DmitryGrigoryev I can confirm that now one chrome tab uses 800+ MB.– cheemsCommented Feb 2, 2022 at 3:09

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
