I would love for Chrome to spend an entire version's development focused on reducing memory. I haven't heard of any focused effort in this area from the development team, has anyone else? I know computers are coming out with increasingly large memory, but I don't want that taken up by a sluggish browser. For all my complaints with Chrome, there's not an alternative that's attractive enough to entice me to switch (yet).

There is a memory team formed for Blink[1]. Also, soon they will start rolling out a garbage collector mechanism (code name Oilpan) which would make Blink more stable, safer and faster. But I am not sure about the overall effect of these on Chrome. Presentations in the link has more details. [1] https://www.chromium.org/blink/memory-team https://www.chromium.org/blink/memory-team
