Chrome is well-known to be a vicious memory hog.

Maybe you should try using Safari? It's not only much better with memory, it doesn't actively punish you for avoiding giving Google direct access to all your browsing...

Same with all Google software, complete disregard for efficiency.

they actually added a setting to let tabs drop out of memory, but it's an opt-in

fwiw safari can also be a memory hog as well; it really comes down to the site you are browsing unfortunately (its just a reality of the web nowadays)

just open a few tabs of youtube in safari and 8gb laptop starts to feel cramped
