A couple of months ago my machine became totally unusable and wasn't understanding why, however after a quick check I discovered the ram was full and the swap as well.
After discovering that chrome ate more than half of my ram I checked out the ram consumption on chrome and I was shocked 65GB it's just insane.
(ram bought a couple of years ago)
When you disabled your ad blocker, things became normal...but the background services they run via websockets was just insane lol.
As soon as you re-enabled your ad blocker, the same original memory usage returned.
Another memory leakage can be found via their message app; the more characters you type after a while, the more memory it would devour! I just couldn't continue my discussion with an HR during discussion about arranging an interview; we had to switch to email as it led both of us to extreme frustration!
It just not worth the effort anymore...not to mention the HR scammers that compete between them who's going to get your info or what other data they can extract from you.
Just delete your account; it's not worth it anymore...whatever Microsoft touches, it kills it in no time.

What next, a new post with the RAM value when 12 tabs are open?
I felt "reductive" reading that LinkedIn was using <3GB for 2 tabs given my experience.
Tools like Cursor do something very similar. They claim to be using 2 million tokens or something, but those are cheap tokens which make the code space more searchable.
Makes me wonder that they don't even do performance tests at all.
