Chrome/Edge high memory usage for Databricks tabs.

Is it normal for Databricks tabs to be using such high memory?
The Chrome example I just got a screenshot of was this (rounded up/down)...

3 x Databricks tabs for one user, sized at
6gb, 4.5gb, and 2gb

Total = 12.5gb

I know it gets higher than this too, I've just not caught it in the act yet.

It gets to the point that Chrome/Edge uses up all the memory and eventually crashes.

Is Databricks known for consuming all the memory in browsers? ie: memory leaking.

And the git folders have gotten progressively slower and slower as well, and sometimes the 'open in new tab' button requires several clicks to work.  The whole web interface feels vibecoded now. 🙂
