Hacker News is currently sitting at 130 MB. I simply do not understand how these things are calculated but I suspect the calculated amount that the Chrome tab diagnostic isn't a consistent way of comparing to other application memory usages, or at least a mental model that makes sense to most people (e.g. whats a lot of memory consumption? what should it be? is it too high, is it too low? etc.)
- Aachen 9mo agoDo you mean the RAM used by the tab? The article is talking about disk space
- stronglikedan 9mo agoThere's an app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emergetools.hackernews&hl=en_US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emergetool...
- Aachen 9mo ago- They mention Google Chrome tabs - They speak of HN as a single thing, so presumably not a third-party implementation but the official one
- squeaky-clean 9mo agoThat's some third party app. And if you look at the Github it's basically an advertising vector for that companies set of mobile development tools.
- mbesto 9mo agoah I misunderstood...because hilariously my chrome tab is also ~700MB!
- ksaj 9mo agoPretty wild. Mine (Chromium on Raspberry Pi) was 52mb, bumped up to 58mb to write this response.
- lostmsu 9mo agoThis thread 56MB on Firefox on Windows, 54MB on Edge.
- halapro 9mo agoThat's not the same metric here. 700mb is the size on the App Store. What you're saying is the size in RAM.
