I was wondering why we skipped ddr6. Thanks for clarifying. 😊

Maybe even have 3 or 4 google chrome tabs

4 might be pushing it, it's still just GDDR7

That's why you get 2 of them so u can have 6 tabs

Browser and website developers see it other way: we can care about optimizations even less now.

Maybe one day people will learn that tabs were never designed to perpetually stay open, 50 at a time, and be used as some makeshift bookmarks system.

Oh yes. There was a proposed patch for Google Chrome a while ago that attempted to block some kind of hypothetical memory scanning attack with the only downside that it increased memory usage by 25% by padding out the process with a massive amount of fake instructions. I still get mad thinking about it. The memory scanning is entirely hypothetical, but the memory usage is very real.
