No, it only does what’s specified on the Help Page where our friend Sundance captured that screenshot:
With Google’s memory manager for tabs, I can see what each tab is using. Amazon seller central pages are averaging about 200Mb. An article from WSJ 6-800Mb. An article from Huffington Post 800-1000Mb. With 16 GB of memory and LTE wireless due to my location, that seems to be most of my issues, however since switching back to Chrome I have not had any of the frequent “freezing” I was experiencing with Firefox.

Yes … we found that after asking …
We will just stick to updating (which has been about once a week for a long time).
We are also on LTE wirless at the home location.
We have to run a repeater inside the house to get a strong enough signal to even have a phone call come in on a cell. My neighbor steps outside to use his cell. We would probably have the spinning wheel of death if we tried to use either browser on our cell thru LTE wireless.

Chrome for personal email and SC, Firefox for work email and suppliers’ portals. Good combo.

Brave browser has been our daily driver for about 2 years now and unless they mess it up, we’re staying. It’s based on Chrome, but much more secure, with privacy controls and blocks 90% of ads automatically without an ad blocker. Nice to watch Youtube without interruptions every 2 minutes for ads.
All our Amazon stuff works perfectly in Brave including seller central. We create shipments to FBA and monitor our stuff without incident. I can say in the 25 or so years I was in IT I never had a browser this good. Unfortunately (or fortunately) not many people know about Brave. In my mind it’s the best we have right now. Chrome is too bloated and insecure in my opinion. Still seems to use an inordinate amount of memory and has to be shut down and recycled too often. Firefox is great, but lacks the ad blocking in Brave which I can’t live without now.

I have often found problems with viewing Campaign Manager on Chrome. More specifically, when I try to change bids. The problem disappears when I switch to Edge.

Which is based on Chrome so there are definitely differences in “flavors”.

I use Firefox… I always have at least 3 windows open, with multiple tabs open on each. Never have a problem. I don’t like Chrome because it doesn’t load all websites correctly, especially non-https websites (it automatically changes the url to https, so if you go to any sites without SSL, it gives that warning about it trying to steal your information or the sites just don’t load). I also seem to be “tracked” more using Chrome, where I don’t see this happen on Firefox. I do occasionally run into sites that require Chrome or Edge to run though, so still have those as needed.

I have been on Safari for 25 years - All Computers Macs since 1984
Then last year to Chrome v134, as some of my computers were old, and Safari was broke. (imagine that - Safari broke on the mac, but Chrome worked).
Anyway, the change was hard, and I have few issues with Chrome now.
Do not know if I will go back?
As a NOTE - The Answer to “Your Choice of Browsers”
should always have the following.
Mac or PC
Browser and Version

Other than being a memory hog, as I often have 10 or more chrome sessions open per laptop, Chrome has been flawless for us (PC).
I hear a lot of noise about the Windows 11 update as it relates to “Efficiency Mode” for Chrome but it sure did help…
