Pretty much all the Apple hardware seems to come with a default of 8GB of RAM.

What do you Mac users do when you need to open a third browser tab?! 🤔

@fribbledom You're joking, but I have been using an 8GB Mac Mini M1 since day one with no spinning beach ball or slowdowns whatsoever.

I'm not sure I really am. It's been a while I've seen my browser use less than 8GB of memory.

@mattsledge This is odd. When I have lots of tabs open it's like < 1.5GB usage, and from my experience > ~2GB hasn't happened. What kind of websites do you have open?? I suppose you have some much, much heavier work open than I do 🤷‍♂️ When I talk about PC memory usage with people, the browser is *never* like that.
