      Browser and website developers see it other way: we can care about optimizations even less now.

        Maybe one day people will learn that tabs were never designed to perpetually stay open, 50 at a time, and be used as some makeshift bookmarks system.

        Oh yes. There was a proposed patch for Google Chrome a while ago that attempted to block some kind of hypothetical memory scanning attack with the only downside that it increased memory usage by 25% by padding out the process with a massive amount of fake instructions. I still get mad thinking about it. The memory scanning is entirely hypothetical, but the memory usage is very real.
