Got curious and checked. A Discord tab used ~500MBs. Other big sites (YT, FB, etc) were also at hundreds of MBs. Web bloat is real.

- nottorp 2y agoActually Discord - the standalone "application" - has improved at some point. It used to go up to multiple gigabytes (i caught it at over 4 at some point) if you left the meme channel displayed for weeks. I'm guessing it used to keep all those animated gifs uncompressed in memory. I does seem more reasonable now. For a javascript "application" at least. > displayed for weeks I'm guessing that since Discord is a gamer oriented application all their devs are used to restarting their Windows PCs daily and don't realize that you can leave other operating systems running for months* without any trouble. * or years if you don't apply core os updates.
