Firefox Quantum Lands in Beta, Developer Edition

Chrome is an insane ram hog. It is inexcusable to be using >400MB per tab, but I see that all the time.

Agreed. Microsoft Azure Portal is taking up 934 MB, Gmail is 502 MB, Pocket is 309 Mb. Google Keep takes 180 Mb or so.

I don't know how much my tabs use, but it isn't 400MB or I'd have ran out of RAM a hundred tabs ago...

I just checked on my work computer and you are right, only a few hovering around 300 or so. They may have made improvements or it may be a macOS thing

I am averaging around 150 MB per tab here.

What really amused me a couple of years ago is that even processes handling about:newtab were constantly leaking on linux.
