Three days ago someone posted - LinkedIn uses 2.4 GB RAM across two tabs

What next, a new post with the RAM value when 12 tabs are open?

Well if you check the screenshot you will notice that LinkedIn was using about 10x more memory for a few tabs ;) The most insane one is at +15GB lol

I felt "reductive" reading that LinkedIn was using <3GB for 2 tabs given my experience.
