Look beyond the funny app. Think of the challenge of finding an efficient solution to the original problem regardless of its "unseriousness": finding the optimal picture according to pointer position. Same solution is also useful

Ads are just the visible parts, so many web pages are bloated with so much invisible tracker/analytics javascript code etc. collecting data to be sold.

In the big picture, sandboxing may actually help memory consumption in the long run. When a tab close, a process close, and the OS ensure that all memory for that process is freed as well.

AdBlock is significantly worst than ABP memory usage-wise (edit: on Chromium, I didn't benchmark elsewhere). I believe this is also the case CPU-wise from observing Task Manager during benchmarks.

I don't understand why you bring up C++. With overhead, the approach I try to stick to is unless the code become more difficult to grasp, avoid overheads, however small they may be, whenever they can be avoided. Everything adds up in t
