This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
First and foremost I abandoned Chrome for the 3rd reason and haven't looked back. One of the largest corporations in the world can't make a web browser that doesn't use an obscene amount of ram to open 3 tabs at once :0
Saw this tweet recently:
"Google is pointing out issues with my site performance. It's forcing me to inspect what I can improve. I finally removed google analytics and mobile performance jumped from 70 to 96."
I think that should tell you everything you need to know about how bloated Google is.
