While some people spend upwards of $6,000 on a brand new Mac Pro because they work in high-end video production, others have more ambitious ideas when it comes to pushing Apple’s top of the line Mac to the limit. Recently, Jonathan Morrison decided to see just how many tabs he could open on Google Chrome before his computer went haywire. And best of all, he chronicled the entire ordeal on a somewhat fascinating and hilarious Twitter thread.
Now we’ve all fallen victim to opening up too many tabs in Chrome and having our computer grind to a frustrating halt. But for most people, I’m guessing, the upper limit of their open tabs on Chrome is probably more than 50 but less than 100. Morrison, armed with Apple’s state of the art Mac Pro, was able to open more than 6000 Google Chrome tabs.
When Morrison hit the 3,000 tab mark, Chrome was using up about 126GB of RAM. By the time Morrison hit 5,000 tabs, Chrome was using up 170GB of RAM.
Google Chrome for Mac is widely popular because it offers Google-specific features on your Mac. Download Google Chrome on your Mac to get a multi-functional web browser that’s easy to use and customize, no matter your skill level.
- For Mac OS X 10.10 or later. This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.9 are no longer supported. This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome.
- He thought that if I should launch 6,000 Google Chrome tabs then it might cover lots of memory. But when he experimented and checked the result, that 6,000 Google Chrome covered 75GB of RAM. For me, exactly the Apple Mac Pro is unbelievable with 1.5TB RAM. Apple Mac Pro hardware is upgradable, you can build Mac Pro according to your budget.
- While the developer is fixing the problem, try using an older version. If you need the previous version of Google Chrome, check out the app's version history which includes all versions available to download. Download prior versions of Google Chrome for Mac. All previous versions of Google Chrome are virus-free and free to download at Uptodown.

Looking to push things to the limit, Morrison kept on opening up tabs until he got to a whopping 6,000. By that point, his Mac Pro was seemingly on the fritz, as evidenced by the tweet below.

And then things kept climbing, with Chrome eventually using up a lot more than a full TB of RAM.

Not to be outdone, Morrison subsequently posted a few posts on Twitter that show a computer running 12,000! Google Chrome tabs. It’s unclear, though, if this was his own computer or someone simply trying to beat him at his own game. Either way, it’s a remarkable, exciting, and admittedly pointless achievement.
