The number of tabs you have doesn’t correlate to the number of active web views you have, if you use any browser that unloads background tabs while still saving their state.

I'm fairly sure that if you open up the web messengers, Gmail, etc, the browser can't and won't unload them, because they're active in the background.

It's fairly easy to hit a few GB of RAM used up just with those.
