Did ya try it yourself? I did.


Even if they are larger:

1. How is this Apple’s fault? You’re complaining about a third-party application that Apple has no control over.

2. How can you be sure that Mac and Windows manage memory in the same way?

The nerds who sit around and stare at their computer metrics and gauges on their menu bar or desktop overlay are completely missing the point: is the computer usable and responsive?

I use both Mac and Windows daily and they’re basically the same thing and do all the same things, including running Chrome.
