Running latest Firefox on latest MacOS on Intel. Hundreds of tabs open, memory usage is ~3GB for main process, 2-3GB for isolated content (ie the tabs). Really not sure what the problem is.

I love all the comments here that you can't build a proper UX/UI with a "perfect" REST API even though browsers do it all day, every day. REST includes code-on-demand as part of the style, HTTP allows for that with the &

Because I loath Nouning Verbs and Verbing Nouns, I'd really like "learnings" to always have an implied or explicit set of quotes and mean vaguely defined and not necessarily ethical stuff. There's a perfectly good noun,
