Reply to comment by Apart_Ad_5993 in Google starts rolling out Memory and Energy Saver modes to latest Chrome release by Stiven_Crysis

> Unused RAM is wasted RAM. I want the machine to use 90% of the available RAM. Kinda why I bought extra.

Not how I would phrase it but I do agree with you there. I have 16 gigs and almost got 32. If I have 5 chrome tabs open and 3 of them are youtube videos, going back to one I left half-way and needing to refind where I started stopped is a PITA. I have the RAM to do this, don't just not use it because I switched to watching an hour long video an hour ago.

The new Chrome settings do not preclude you from starting where you left off, it just takes a second to reload the page with the video at the spot you left it (give or take a few seconds).

Not with my experience. It boots me to the start of a video, subreddit, .etc .etc and reloads it far more often than not.

Fair enough; even though I haven't experienced that, I've noticed that video playback has been stuttery tonight, so it's either something else coincidentally or just more Chrome issues.
