browsers 'inactivate' dormant tabs these days meaning the page is cached and not active until you click on the tab so ram abuse is limited.

I thought this too until we recently switched to google workspace and now Chrome takes up 3gb…. I have 4 tabs open. Meet, calendar, gmail, and chat. horseshite

Have you updated Chrome recently? I think this dormant tab is a fairly new feature

Not a big deal, and actually preferable, to use a lot of memory. If it's there but unused, that would be a waste of resources. As long as you're not running out and using swap.
