Ask HN: Why does Chrome use 100+ mb of memory per tab?

Isnt chrome doing process isolation per tab? The cost of RAM comes with strict security guarantees.

are you ram poor come on

we went to the moon with 15 kb of ram. 15 kb. There's no way that chrome needs to use that many resources per tab. Something terrible has gone wrong there.
