Does it still consume infinity GB of RAM to have a dozen websites open at once? I would love to understand if this is because of the site I have open vs chrome

Does it still consume infinity GB of RAM to have a dozen websites open at once? I would love to understand if this is because of the site I have open vs chrome being a hog.

According to the blog post, this will actually increase RAM usage by 10-20%, but luckily, it's disabled but default. I'd be super okay with the RAM usage, if there was a way to keep every tab from loading when opening Chrome. Right now I have 80 tabs, and restarting my computer or Chrome just gives me a minor cringe thinking of having to wait while the CPU gets pegged while every tab loads. Sure, I'm not the common case, but I wish there was an extension for this, or that it was doable with the extension API, like it is in FF.
