Many. Often loading the mobile version is effectively that, and some (notably Gmail and Facebook) have basic HTML versions with limited Javascript.

Also, the main thing that uses RAM on here is a mixture of aggressive caching (to seem faster) and the fact that Javascript is a huge steaming turd of a language.
