Forget memory leaks…this is a memory AVALANCHE

Wow. I have never encountered a mac program that should be in theory so light and simple in purpose that then went ahead to so thoroughly fail at managing what ought to be bare bones level of system resources as this tar baby of a program does.

As of writing this review, Go for Gmail is consuming 6GB of RAM on my system. We used to talk back in the 00s how Firefox was a constant memory hog and it took years to fix…and that was a browser—infinitely more complex than this application--let’s be real here—calling it an application is being way too charitable. This is really an applet not an application. This little applet takes the cake and sweeps past all previous memory hogs known to man and leaves them in the dust. I’ve deleted all traces of this applet that just ends up feeds off your RAM till there is no more RAM left and you’re left with having to force quit this monster constantly. And you should delete it too. Or avoid installing it.
