> Why doesn’t the Chrome team write unbloated code? They're busy rewriting internet protocols so they benefit Google more. > If Chrome knows that users leave open an insane amount of tabs which kills performance why wouldn’t they have a built in mechanism to suspend the content on the tabs until it’s necessary? It's built into Chrome now but it's useless. Because it's cheaper to glue together a few memory leaks ^H^H^H javascript frameworks than write something that has constant ram usage for the same working set. What does tab suspending help with when a google sheet with not much on it starts at 3-400 Mb ram usage and ends up at 1.5 - 2 Gb in a few weeks if you don't close the tab?
