Three days ago someone posted - LinkedIn uses 2.4 GB RAM across two tabs
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47561489
What next, a new post with the RAM value when 12 tabs are open?
Well if you check the screenshot you will notice that LinkedIn was using about 10x more memory for a few tabs ;) The most insane one is at +15GB lol
I felt "reductive" reading that LinkedIn was using <3GB for 2 tabs given my experience.
95% of it: Negative Mental Vibes.

I posted because I saw that a few days ago but 2.4GB felt "reductive" considering what I experienced on my machine ;)
All this engineering and they still have these basic sub-optimal memory leaks with just a few tabs.
Makes me wonder that they don't even do performance tests at all.
