I got to over 2GB and then Chrome crashed (not dramatically, just a tab). Fun fact is that I was not running the "exploit" in Chrome. I was testing it in Opera and I suspect that it was cheating and allocating more and more memory for all the local storage instead of dumping it out to hard drive. So system run out of memory and something had to go.. I still find it funny that it was Chrome :)


Haha yeah, that is a bit strange. When Chrome crashed for me it was every process, not just the one tab which I rarely see happen these days. Lets hope the Chrome team implement a fix for this ASAP, not holding my breath on an IE fix for at least a year or so given their prior history for patching things.
