Only? I have just 8 GB RAM on My PC.

And Android device which I am using to comment this have just 2GB RAM.

Chrome casually using 8gbs with a few tabs open. Also windows 11. I got a school laptop and windows uses 5gb out of the box💀. Linux supremacy.

Your OS is not necessarily using those 8gb, it just reserved them, meaning other apps can still use it

No thats virtual ram that works differently. Virtual ram is usually much more than 8gb.

Chrome using 8gbs ram is not necessarily a bad thing

Usually browsers use a lot because nothing else is using the ram. If you had a separate program running, the browser would stop using as much.

Shhh if you take away their illogical reasons to b**** about stupid things they'll find more annoying things to b**** about. Just nod and say yeah buddy too bad about that ram somebody should do something about that, and back away slowly.
