What happens if you open 100 Chrome tabs on your phone?

Google Chrome is one of the most commonly used browser platforms in the world.

The strength of this web browser platform lies in its intuitive interface, convenience, ease of use as well as high stability. However, the biggest problem that Google Chrome can not fully overcome is the ability to optimize the usage of system resources. In a nutshell, this browser has always been known to consume RAM, making use on older, low-profile systems sometimes quite inconvenient, and not having the best experience.

So with the question of what happens if you open 100 tabs in the Google Chrome mobile app , for low-profile devices, the first issue we actually encounter is definitely a phenomenon, jerky. , lag, even crashes and forced restart. But what if your phone is powerful enough to weigh 100 Chrome tabs?

This is a small discovery, but quite interesting and not everyone knows. That is, the tab icon in the Chrome mobile app will switch to Yahoo's famous smiley icon ':)', instead of displaying the number of open tabs as usual if you have opened more than 99 tabs.

It's not clear why Chrome developers have this idea, as well as why they chose a simple smiley icon instead of another more emotive icon. It may be because the Google development team does not want to increase the size of the tab counter to display 3 characters. By showing smileys instead of 100, engineers won't need to intervene deeply into the Chrome user interface. In addition, this is also a fun way to report that you are using too much RAM for the browser.
