According to Chrome, this tab alone uses over 200mb.

According to Firefox, it uses 25MB. I suspect neither measurement is entirely accurate.

Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping.

This too, shall pass. The minimum amount of memory for a double buffered fullscreen surface at 8bpc on a 4k monitor is 48MB. RAM is meant to be used, and if it was not for memory hogs, the DRAM industry would be a decade behind where it is today.

    Sure, and when applications hog it, it prevents me from putting it to better use.

    Some of us have to run other programs besides Teams. /s

    • Yes, I also happened to run a browser which shares the same philosophy on RAM.
