      I wish all web developers had laptops with only 512MB of RAM. Trying to tweet with both a windows VM, VScode and slack running at the same time is nigh impossible.

      If...only they shared a single copy of all the Chromium infrastructure...like, maybe some futuristic way run "web apps" in their own windows? IDK, call me crazy.

      And yet: running the full web versions of Twitter and Gmail in side-by-side Chrome browser tabs regularly chews up 512MB of RAM without opening anything for actually getting work done. (That's Twitter after staying open for a few hours, and Gmail just launched a moment ago.)pic.twitter.com/RcCppvzmDk

      Screenshot of the Google Chrome Task Manager, showing a Twitter Tab at 323MB memory footprint, plus 172MB for Gmail, 120MB for the main browser process, and 120MB for the GPU process.

      Memory use is hugely complex. Good programs should trade space for speed to the extent that the space is free. I'm not claiming Chrome is a great memory footprint citizen, but we do try to make things fast when it's possible.

      Oh, sure, it's not an easy problem to solve. But… you seemed to imply that web apps were some magic solution. That said, I'm hopeful that a switch to PWA architecture will make it easier to trim the amount of code & content that accumulates in memory with the SPA architecture.

      Well, that's the thing...Slack and VSCode *are* webish content, they just don't share the Browser Process, GPU Process, etc. etc.
