Wow. My normal session now leaves me with around 8gb free out of 16, compared to 1-2gb free previously. Gmail is using less than 1GB again. I might even disable The Great Suspender, and stop killing tabs that use up lots of memory. Whoever worked on this, you deserve a raise. QOL improvements for so many people.
Sure memory is cheap vs. developer time, but still.

Why would it work with USA zip codes? Zip codes are not universal...
Because it's programmed for US zip codes. So, you can't just enter any zip code in there. There would be clashes since zip codes aren't unique across countries.
Short Country prefix (same as on international car ID plates), then a minus, then the ZIP code.
So, for Germany, D-24107 would be one such code.
Yet, it doesn't handle that either.

It is sad that I cant really tell if you are being sarcastic. Sure memory is cheap vs. developer time, but still.

1-2gb only left is something that greatly lowers the quality of developer time.

Ah Ok I thought it might be an OS utility. Thanks for the tip. I also highly recommend session buddy for excessive tab folks. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edac...
chrome already has this behavior built in, start where I left off under settings. Is this different?

Tabs are the new bookmarks.
They're better. If I bookmark something with any service, chances of me ever checking that out again drop to nearly zero. Tabs, by virtue of being there bugging you, are bookmarks, to-do lists, and task reminders all in one.

No, they aren't. I don't know about you, but I can't have more than 20 tabs open and consciously be aware of the content. I can't think of people like above, having 120 tabs. It's probably a waste of time and resources. First because you can't possibly hold in your memory 120 tabs, thus you'll have to visit them or read the title to remind you why is it there on the first place. With bookmarks at least you can use th…
Naw, at least with me I seem to be able to by treating the tab ordering as a conceptual discovery ordering. That is, I remember what things I learned / researched prior to and following each tab. It's lossy, but because each has a unique relationship with its surrounding concepts there's plenty of opportunities for parity-like behaviour; redundancy. When researching a thing I'll open up some high level page about it,…

He has a point. For me, most of my 'web' experience isn't doing anything I don't remember doing in 1995. The things websites are doing I usually don't want them to do. I just want to see text, images, and video with light formatting and hyperlinks. This _doesn't_ require hundreds of megabytes of memory. It would involve restricting what the new web could do and those restrictions would make things better. We don't ne…
That's about the reasoning behind amp...

Come on man, you don't want to be that guy at HN that rains on everyone's parade. A 30% decrease in RAM usage for an app as complex as Chrome is really something to be celebrated. Great work is done piece by piece.
Hacker News wouldn't be Hacker News if it wasn't full of assholes.
To qualify as one in my book you have to be a serious problem: one came to give me a beating at work and the only way I got away was to find a corner and a weapon until he got distracted.
Another one made life at work so frustrating for two years that I left one of my best jobs ever just to never have to deal with that guy alone.
Unless someone here is stalking you, messing up you life etc then try something like this instead: there are a lot of people on HN who disagrees with me in ways I didn't expect.

Geez. If that's something we need to be happy about, we're doomed.
