I have no dog in the fight either way, but I think it's weird that their demo product shots are on a Mac when part of their pitch is

> "50+ tabs without your computer coming to a crawl"

On Macs, people can just switch to Safari for free and solve that problem. Yes, Chrome is a memory hog. Stop using Chrome, don't send all your browsing data to a third party.

Perhaps Windows would be a better choice for Mighty demo shots, since there may not have a better option than Chrome for Windows.

I just bought an used Lenovo desktop that’s a few years old, but has an i7 and 32gb of ram. It handles a hundred tabs without blinking. I think the bigger problem is the artificial constraint we’ve put on ram, why are we still selling computers with 8gb of ram?
