A lot of browser memory consumption comes with overheads from their multi-process models.
However, that aside, it makes no difference whether you have a window, tab, or "space".
- dleslie 7y agoThe multi process model was an improvement. In days past browsers were single process, and suffered from: - JavaScript on one page dragging down all tabs - Memory leaks - JavaScript exploits that crossed tabs And so on. Multi process browsing is fantastic.
- arghwhat 7y agoWe still have all but the first issue, and that one has nothing to do with multi-process browsing, just multi-threaded processing. So all we really won was performance regressions (the IPC is expensive) and significantly increased resource consumption.
