This is why I'm hoping they will finally switch to Chrome in Android 5.0 or whatever version is announced at Google I/O (Android/Chrome event). And then they update that Chrome browser every 6 weeks, too. It's not like they couldn't. They can already push all their core apps to automatically update for Android 2.2+.

i dont think the chrome multiprocess model works well on mobiles yet. it needs more memory specifically if you start having a few tabs.

- have you seen the specs of the latest high-end phones and tablets? 1GiB of RAM is the norm now

- the number of concurrent open tabs can be limited. It has already been done on Android and iOS (and might still be the case).
