LinkedIn uses 2.4 GB RAM across two tabs | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread reported that LinkedIn consumed about 2.4 GB of RAM across two browser tabs.

Users compared LinkedIn's memory use to other services like AWS, which can use about 1.4 GB per tab.

Several commenters said they avoid login-gated sites or worry that opening LinkedIn at work signals job hunting.

Commenters noted LinkedIn has profile notification and "open to work" visibility settings to limit signals.
