Chrome is an insane ram hog. It is inexcusable to be using >400MB per tab, but I see that all the time.

  I don't know how much my tabs use, but it isn't 400MB or I'd have ran out of RAM a hundred tabs ago...

    I just checked on my work computer and you are right, only a few hovering around 300 or so. They may have made improvements or it may be a macOS thing

      I am averaging around 150 MB per tab here.

  Agreed. Microsoft Azure Portal is taking up 934 MB, Gmail is 502 MB, Pocket is 309 Mb. Google Keep takes 180 Mb or so.

  What really amused me a couple of years ago is that even processes handling about:newtab were constantly leaking on linux.
