      The fact that the most popular Apple laptops are still spec'd to have a max of 16 GB of RAM is exactly why I am building Mighty. The level of innovation & progress is abysmally slow in desk computing.

      maybe you did not get @Apple’s pitch: the CPU, GPU, ML have all way faster access to that 16GB b/c they’re all on the same SoC

      That matters little, I suspect, if your memory swapping because you only have 8-16 GB and Chrome eats 8 GB.

      Why does Chrome use so much memory? A tab displaying a 4k text file uses 40 MB of memory. It seems one of the more extreme cases of Parkinson's Law in technology.

          That's actually because web is made up of quite distinctive set of technologies. Loading a page take rendering CSS in realtime along with running JS and processing TCP requests. This isn't just about the chrome, safari and firefox also consume quite similar amount of ram.

          Because it is easier to add new features to Chrome than remove them
