Chrome 63 offers even more protection from malicious sites, using even more memory

Chrome partners with Bluehole, version 100 uses all of your RAM.
Why does chorm despise free memory so much?
We live in a world where computers are getting ever faster, but Chrome is so bloated it feels like we’re going backwards instead of forwards.
*Compared to other browsers, which still isn't actually that much.
Seriously, am I the only one who doesn't think chrome uses a lot of RAM? With at least 30 tabs open it only takes 1.2gb, I think that's very reasonable.

And this isn't even enabled by default

Chrome 62 (64-bit), 36 tabs open, total memory usage: 3.99 GB
The 5 extensions I have are using a total of 0.22 GB
Tabs open is the wrong metric for Chrome though. What you have open matters a lot more than how many tabs. Gmail for example is taking up 0.30 GB by itself. If ever tab was that much of a memory hog, 30 tabs would take 9 GB.
