You should start first with closing your unneeded resp.

built into ads they may distribute over popular websites. And it is known that attackers like to distribute their attack via websites, e.g. The bug may be on the web site or in the web browser or a combination of both. When I have so many tabs open, then it is usually due to some bug or some attack.

I don't know why you opened 49 tabs simultaneously. So if you opened 49 tabs during a day but never have open more than 5-8, you'll see that your version of Chrome web browser will need much less memory. It does matter more, how many you've open simultaneously. It doesn't matter much how many tabs you open during the day.

Perhaps time for an update of your web browser. So I fear that your version may still include published 0-day vulnerabilities. LookingToAlwaysLearn wrote:Running chromeġ.53.

Just because it's popular doesn't make it the right choice, many people probably moved to Chrome on Windows 7 to avoid IE, long before Edge was available, but the Brave browser has increased 5000% in the last year because people are concerned about privacy. That's personal choice, I hate Chrome, I would never use it. Thanks! I thought Chrome was the go to browser!

The above doesn't prove anything, but it also doesn't make Chrome out to be the memory hog it's purported to be. The ten pages were:Īfter waiting > 5 minutes for things to settle down (judged by the CPU used by each), I took this screenshot. I then started Chrome, Edge, and Firefox and opened the same ten pages on ten tabs on each browser. So this time, I closed my browser, waited a few minutes. I just want to believe I'm not throwing memory away feeding a greedy browser. The purpose of the test is not to prove which browser is better. Every time I see this subject, I try to conduct an informal test.
