But when you have youtube, gmail, and other web applications open, memory usage tends to go nuts. I've been told that it's technically impossible for a web application to have a memory leak, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
Whomever said that it's technically impossible for a web application to have a memory leak is a liar.
I wrote a slightly-more-than-basic Angular.js app and it leaks like crazy up to the point that the Chrome tab will crash.
If you're having serious ram problems in Chrome though, Shift-ESC is your friend. Shows you what exactly is consuming RAM (in the event you didn't already know)
