FWIW, with only Chrome (several windows, multiple tabs, rebooted a few weeks ago) open I'm at:

Physical Memory: 32,00 GB

Memory Used: 21 GB

Cached Files: 10,45 GB

Swap Used: 0 GB

You can look at any number of videos demonstrating that a base model MacBook Air is more than capable of running Chrome with a few tabs open. Modern browsers (and operating systems) opportunistically use free RAM for caching.
